ELTHAM SOUTH FINE ART Studios & Gallery is our new working name.
Our STUDIOS, GALLERY & FRAMING WORKSHOP are situated on a site between two roads - Six Mount Pleasant Road and 19 Fordhams Road in Eltham.
Two entrances now - Six Mount Pleasant for the Gallery and teaching workshop and Fordhams Road for the framing studio.
The studios have been combined in honour of my mother who passed away in April this year. Grace Mitchell purchased the property here in Eltham in 1948 and the family has lived here since. Grace's Place is now open to the public as a gallery and teaching studio showcasing sculpture, painting and photography work by the family.
We are open for the first time in this form as part of the Nillumbik OPEN STUDIO program and thereafter 'irregularly' - when the sign is out or by appointment. We live on site and are more than happy to open the gallery - just give us a phone call and make a time.

Exhibitions
Returning to the Nillumbik Open Studio Program this year we will be introducing our new Gallery Studio venue.
ELTHAM SOUTH FINE ART - Studio and Gallery; located at Six Mount Pleasant Road Eltham.
We have moved the Montsalvat teaching studio to this space as well as set up a gallery to exhibit the work of my mother, Grace Mitchell, Mervyn Hannan and myself, Jenni Mitchell.
Six Mount Pleasant Road is the extension of our property, my mother's house and garden. Grace sadly passed away in April this year at the age of 94.
The Eltham South Fine Art studio and gallery space was first bought by the Mitchell family in 1948. The Mitchell's created an orchard and vegetable garden on the side of the mudstone hill and later Grace made her famous home made pies from here before turning pastry to clay and working with wood and stone in her sculpture.
Some of her work will be shown over this coming Open Studio.
Hours - Saturday and Sunday from 11:00am - 5.00pm.

A lot has been happening lately!
THE TEACHING STUDIO
We have relocated our teaching studio from Montsalvat to SIX MOUNT PLEASANT ROAD Eltham. Why? Because we have my mother's house and studio on the corner of Mount Pleasant and Main Road to use. My mother, Grace Mitchell passed away six months ago in April. She was at 94 years of age. Grace had wanted us to use her space for artistic pursuit. With much toil we are now ready and have had several classes working from the new studio space. And working well within the garden setting. Spring being the perfect time to start a new venture. If you are thinking of joining the classes or having some private tuition with Jenni, now is the time to enrol.
OPEN STUDIO
For Two weekends in November, 19/20 and 26/27 we will be opening our studios, gallery and garden to the public. As a former founding artist of the Open Studio Program I am pleased to announce we are returning after a break of several years.
With the new space we are able to exhibit our work in a well lit environment. It will be a show of the family - Grace Mitchell, Jenni Mitchell and Mervyn Hannan. Grace's work on show will be a preview to a larger show we hope to have in the next couple of years. Mervyn and Jenni's work will be a series of paintings and photographs of recent travels and studio works including NORWAY, MONGOLIA and the Australian Desert.
WORKSHOP WINGROVE PARK, DEC 2011
To finish the year Jenni and Mervyn will be holding a local Eltham workshop in Wingrove Park, just opposite the studio gallery in Mount Pleasant Road. Wingrove Park is a natural park full of history and wonderful on Manna Gum trees. It's wild and untamed and totally suitable for painting.
