'Somewhere Under the Rainbow'
It's not the Yellow Brick Road, but all you had to do yesterday to get there was follow the road and aim at the Rainbow!
Campus Drive leads directly to the Piggery ( The name was changed from Piggery Lane to reflect the change from the Agricultural College of over 100 years to the modernizing UWS )...

'freshening up'
it's been a while since anything was done to the Piggery, so we have been doing a bit of pre-Spring Cleaning, clearing weeds and adding a bit of paint here and there.

Hawkesbury Art Fair
The Hawkesbury Regional Gallery recently held it's inaugural Hawkesbury Art Fair, a curated exhibition of local (Hawkesbury) artists and Art Groups.
The Piggery Lane Studios were represented there, the works selected may not have been typical of all the artworks on show at the Piggery... but overall it made up a very fine exhibition and it is hoped this will become an annual event at the Regional Gallery

Malcolm Robertson was also asked to do a portrait demonstration... the subject was Peter Kay, who is a regular Father Christmas at the Queen Victoria Building in Sydney.

Gallery becomes Gourmet restaurant!
On the third Saturday of the month, on the same day that the Piggery has it's monthly 'Open Day', Ling Halbert runs a vegetarian cooking class at the adjoining Earthcare centre. This month it was decided to try something excitingly different, to present and eat the food in the the Piggery Lane Studios instead of the Earthcare centre.
Maybe not quite as much room as the Earthcare building, but the ambience of the Piggery certainly added to the atmosphere and flavour of the food.
a couple of photos before the commencement of the meal...
more photo's and details of the day, the food and the recipes can be found on Ling's website on the Superfood at Earthcare with Elegant Art link
I must say that it was 'Superfood'... and it was delicious!
By coincidence one of the members of the class said that her father, who came out from Wales in 1912, worked at the Piggery 70 years ago when it was an active piggery, and was actually injured a few times with some of the equipment that was in use back then!
