At the Swan Hill Regional Gallery this month is the YEP PROJECT.
Working with found objects such as cardboard boxes, styrofoam, wood, pipecleaners, plastics and other found materials, Jackie Gorring will lead students from St Mary MacKillop College and Swan Hill College in a series workshops utilising alternative art materials.
