Former New Inventors panellist Richard Vaughan will be coming to Nanango’s Ringsfield House on Saturday, June 15, to give a one-off presentation about design and creativity.
Richard has been designing and making unique wooden pieces on commission for almost 30 years, and has been teaching and sharing his joy for 20 years.
His students are typically adults with “real jobs” who “crave tangible expressions of a part of their self that tends to get set aside in their daily lives”.
During his five years on the panel of The New Inventors, Richard reaffirmed the creative, inventive side of all sorts of people.
He said that quite often students start by declaring themselves to be “a klutz without a creative bone in their body”.
“It’s a delight beyond words to see what they make, and to see the deep satisfaction they get from having done so,” he said.
“Of course you have creativity! All you need to do is learn how to allow it.”
Richard’s visit to the South Burnett is being organised by Hand Made In Country, a regional network of artisans who produce unique, hand-made items and teach their skills.
The event is a very casual, “come and have a look and connect” occasion where guests can find out more about the Hand Made In Country concept.
Tickets to Richard’s presentation are $20 (which includes morning tea) and can be booked on the Hand Made In Country website or by emailing them.
The deadline for bookings is Friday, June 7.
