Okay, so we might be getting a bit ahead of ourselves, but we are pretty excited about being able to share our community with you.
Over the years, Bizarre has developed strong relationships ... Read more Ready Made Frames This week, I’m reporting from the frontline of the worst dust storm in 70 years – and I’m smiling to myself as I sit in my newly air conditioned factory where the dust can’t get me! (Although, I may not be smiling so much when I go outside to find my car covered in a thick layer of red dust. Hmmm….)

Firstly, my apologies for the delayed announcing of our classes. Our teacher Deb lost everything in the January floods, so she is just starting to get on top of things and think about getting back to life beyond the mud piles.
