SUMMARY:All roads lead to Buda and afternoon tea
DESCRIPTION:Susie Williams who was Principal of Women’s College Sydney University from 1919 -1935 \nWomen\, Art & Education\n \nJoin us for a delightful afternoon tea and lecture by Buda Committee member Dr. Mandy Leveratt.\nBOOK NOW\n[vc_row][vc_column width=’1/3′] \nEnid Joske who was Principal of Janet Clarke Hall\, Melbourne University from 1928-1952 \n[/vc_column][vc_column width=’1/3′] \nDorothy Leviny 1913 \n[/vc_column][vc_column width=’1/3′] \nHilda Leviny 1907 \n[/vc_column][/vc_row] \n\nBuda is well-known for the work of Ernest Leviny and his daughters – from silversmithing through to embroidery and photography\, the Leviny’s were an extraordinary family. Their discerning eye for modern artists brought them in touch with such talented artists as Margaret Preston and Jessie Traill. \nBut through marriages and close friendships with other prominent families in Castlemaine\, the Leviny daughters also knew most of the key women who were responsible for the development of women and girls’ education in Victoria and New South Wales both at secondary and university level. \nThis talk will outline all those connections and show how the Leviny’s played a hitherto unacknowledged part in drawing together those threads. \nDr. Mandy Leveratt has a PhD in late nineteenth and early twentieth century feminist and social history from the ANU. For most of her career she worked in the not-for-profit sector undertaking policy and research work.\n\n\n\n\nBOOK NOW\nPlease email any dietary restrictions

DESCRIPTION:Naturalistic approaches to designing vegetation in gardens and public landscapes. John Rayner\n\nCome and join us for a 3 course winter meal for the annual Josine McEwan fund-raising dinner with Melbourne University Associate Professor John Rayner.\nBOOK NOW\nThe late Josine McEwan was a volunteer in the garden at Buda Historic Home & Garden in Castlemaine.  Knowing how important Buda is to the region and wanting it to remain open for future generations to enjoy\, Josine left a generous bequest to Buda when she passed away in 2006. Since 2007 an annual lecture and fundraising dinner has been conducted in Josine’s memory. \nBased at the Burnley Campus of the University of Melbourne for more than 35 years\, John is a teaching and research academic with a focus in urban horticulture\, particularly the design\, use and management of plants. His research in green infrastructure has helped develop the industry in Australia and in collaboration with multiple industry and government partners produced more than 100 publications and reports. Over the last decade John has helped lead and expand the Woody Meadow Project (https://woodymeadow.unimelb.edu.au/). He is also a keen gardener and in his spare time\, together with his wife\, he nurtures and tortures plants on their one-hectare garden in the Dandenong Ranges outside Melbourne. \nThis year’s lecture presented by John focuses on naturalistic planting design incorporating gardens and landscapes he has visited internationally\, then his work in Australia (Woody meadows\, Flowery Swards)\, concluding with work in his own garden applying these principles. \n     \nThe dinner includes a glass of bubbly on arrival followed by a delicious and seasonal three course winter meal. \nPlease let us know by email if you have dietary requirements. \nMenu to be advised soon\nBOOK NOW\n

SUMMARY:Drawing Workshop with Mark Dober
DESCRIPTION:Mark Dober will  be conducting a drawing workshop at Buda\, on Sunday 3 November 2024. The 4 hour workshop runs from 12 noon to 4 pm. \nMark makes his paintings and drawings in the landscape. Since moving from Melbourne to Castlemaine in 2016\, his work has been mostly made at a variety of sites in this region.\nWorking on site he seeks to convey the experiential with directness and immediacy. His response comprises a blend of the observed and imagined. He views the organic relationship between looking and mark making as intrinsic to the meaning of his work — integrated expressions of a direct and tactile engagement with place. He wants the viewer to experience a sense of immersion by physically engaging in the activity of viewing that mirrors his own physical engagement when making the work. \nDescription of workshop \nWe will draw in the gardens of Buda. The intention is to make 3 drawings: \nThe first drawing will be in charcoal\, buiding the work with tone and mark making (and using the eraser). \nThe second drawing will be using two dry media – commencing with red/brown conte\, then progressing to charcoal (and using the eraser). This drawing is layered and well reveals the process of looking and construction. \nThe third drawing will be using black ink and a brush. The first application will be in light grey. The second application will be much more black. \nA set amount of time will be allocated to each drawing. You may not finish one or more of these drawings\, they are exercises in drawing techinique/method.  I will demonstrate at the commencement of each drawing. Where there is time left over\, you can either go back to completing a drawing\, or start a new one\, deciding what media to use and how to proceed. \nThis workshop will introduce you to different methods of obervational drawing\, using differing media in a purposeful way. It will expand your technical range and provide you with drawing skills that underpin.painting. While especially useful for artists with experience in drawing\, the workshop can also accomodate adults with little or no drawing experience. \nCost:  The workshop is $100. Included in the cost is the paper\, drawing boards\, and drawing materials that Mark will provide (you can bring your own paper/materials if you like). Additionally\, there will be a $10/$12 entry fee into Buda\, which you pay when you come to the workshop. \nPlease email Mark at – info@markdober.com – to book your participation. Closer to the time of the workshop he will call for payment. \nBOOK NOW\n  \n

SUMMARY:Artists Talk with Damon Kowarsky & Exhibition launch by David Frazer
DESCRIPTION:BOOK NOW\nMeet the artists presenting an Australian European Connection at Buda Castlemaine\, with a special artist’s talk by Damon Kowarsky and the official opening by David Frazer with wine and canapes. \n“This talk will look at depictions of landscape through my work and the contemporary and historical printmakers who have influenced it. \nLandscape [along with portraiture and still life] is one of the three big themes in art. This talk will consider the ways landscape has expanded and contracted in response to new ideas about the world\, and how it has come to be central to my current practice. \nIn a country as urbanised as Australia there is a paradox in our desire to visually depict landscape as separate from everyday experience – the Heidelberg School famously caught the train to paint their pastoral idylls. \nFor me it is this discomfort with our place in this country that feeds the enduring power of landscape art. It is also\, given the truly astonishing environments we live in and at the margins of\, a huge joy and privilege to be able to depict them through the medium of print.” \nDamon Kowarsky \nDamon Kowarsky | Equinox Printmakers | Sharon Greenaway | Dianne Longley | special guest David Frazer \nBOOK NOW\nDamon Kowarsky studied printmaking at Victorian College of the Arts and Glasgow School of Art.

SUMMARY:Exhibition - A European Australian Connection
DESCRIPTION:Buda Historic Home and Garden is the European villa of Hungarian silversmith Ernest Leviny built during the Victorian goldrush. Damon Kowarsky is an Australian artist working across drawing printmaking and painting who will address this European Australian connection as an exhibition within the heritage home. Having travelled extensively\, Kowarsky uses precise artmaking techniques to question architectural exteriors in Australia and Europe presenting factual reality as an illusion with a pristine finish and tactile nature. \n   \nEquinox Printmaking is operated by long-standing printmakers Nancye Canobie and Keith Wiltshire and specialises in both stone and metal plate lithography. Sharon Greenaway is a Bendigo based floral artist and photographer\, who’s artistic practice revolves around creating exquisite art\, juxtaposed with the fragility of humanity and our place in the natural world of the Central Goldfields region. Equinox and Greenaway will explore the connection between the European heritage garden and its context within the Central Victorian landscape as one of the most significant large nineteenth or early twentieth century suburban gardens surviving in Victoria. \nGeneral Admission applies \nNaarm – Damon Kowarsky \nEquinox Printmaking \nFloral Art by Sharon Greenaway \nDamon Kowarsky studied printmaking at Victorian College of the Arts and Glasgow School of Art.
