'You and Muse' will hopefully be the first of many social art events at Not Core Space. The intent behind these events is to facilitate community, provide a ready and accessible art studio, a prompt, and some time. These will be unguided; you will be free to spend the 2 hours however you like. The prompt is there, and it's yours to do with it what you please. You can bring your dinner, your headphones, your parent, or a book. Your time will be yours; spend it focused on your canvas or spend it collaborating with new people.
Have you ever been at a café, on a train, or in a park and tried to draw a stranger co-existing in the same space as you? This first event’s prompt is reference from life (portraiture). There will be a life model, sitting or standing, reading, drawing, watching their phone, eating dinner, going about their night while still offering themselves to be referenced in your artwork.
These events are completely BYO art supplies. Bring your paper, your pens, your pencils, your paint, whatever you need to create. You could be a working artist or someone who hasn’t picked up a pencil in a decade; everyone is welcome. If you would like to attend to try something new, but the sign-up price and the art supplies price are out of budget, contact me and I will see how I can accommodate.
I am so excited to meet you, open my studio, co-create, and drink cordial under the light of my lamps.

I'm Grace and I am a multimedia artist based in South East Melbourne. I have been making and selling artwork since i was about 13 years old and have never really been able to settle on a specific medium - until ceramics. I started ceramics in 2021 with the intention of becoming the wheel thrower of my friend group - 'come to me if you need a new bowl!', however that hobby very quickly turned into my everyday and then as of early 2025 - my full time job. Although I started ceramics on a pottery wheel, i slowly moved my practice over to be more centred around handbuilding. I love the intuitive nature that comes with handbuilding and i find it compliment's illustrative glazing really nicely. My decade of oil painting, realism graphite drawing and fineline illustration has come to heavily influence how i approach making my ceramic pieces, and I love sharing how to pull from other art practices to collaborate with clay to create a one of a kind piece of functional artwork.
