Seasons Greetings!
Enjoy your time with family and the ones you love. For me, Xmas is a time of reflection … an opportunity for you to show others that you really do care. It is also a time for you to relax and have fun. Wherever you may be, and whatever you may be doing, be safe. And don’t get hassled by the pressure of those New Year resolutions!
The Gift of Learning
Can’t think of what to give someone special? OK … what about the ‘gift of learning’? With Christmas fast approaching I'm sure you'll be interested to learn of Adult Education's new Gift Vouchers - an ideal gift for any occasion, especially at this time of the year.
The vouchers are available in denominations of $50, $75, $100, $150 and $200.
Please note, the vouchers have to be redeemed on Adult Education courses from where the voucher was purchased. In other words, when buying a voucher for a friend or relative, you would be advised to purchase the voucher from the region in which the course will be offered.
Gift vouchers can be purchased by phoning one of the regional Adult Education hotlines:
Southern Tasmania: 6233 7237
Northern Tasmania: 6336 2666
North West Tasmania: Burnie 6434 6282 Devonport 6421 7600
Text-Isle 07 Summer School
If you love textiles, Text-Isle 07 in Launceston is definitely for you. Textile artists of national and international renown are running a week of workshops in January, sharing their wealth of knowledge and experience.
As well as the workshops, there will be a bazaar, with traders, students and tutors buying and selling their wares. In the evenings, there will be free workshops and slideshows.
Many of the workshops are already full, however there are a few places remaining if you get in quick.
This is a super event and a genuine opportunity to learn from people at the top of their field of expertise. Even if you are not able to join the week long workshops, it would still be worthwhile dropping by to see everything else going on and to meet the people.
