Donna is going alone in this episode again, while Jason is away, with two guests in the studio, enjoy!

Renae Pennicuik is a Red Cliffs based ceramist and sculptor and has been making and teaching pottery since 2000.

Her practice The Studio at Red Cliffs consists largely of wheel thrown functional and sculptural pottery with an emphasis on form, glazing and varied firing techniques.

Having always been drawn to art and creative pastimes, Renae dabbled hard in clay as a side gig to the hospitality grind, including opening studios in her home, workshops and exhibitions with Mildura Arts Centre and Gallery F.

Towards the end of 2021 Renae took a leap of faith and decided to bank it all on her skills and love for ceramics! She quit her day job and opened a gallery and workshop space called The Studio at Red Cliffs.

Renae runs a variety of courses and workshops and is working on lots of exciting avenues to her business.

Stephen Hegedus is the Chairperson of Sunraysia Lifeline Project.

They are having their Annual Sunraysia Lifeline ride fundraiser on Sunday 20 March 2022 to raise funds for the Sunraysia Lifeline Project (SLP).

The yearly ride raises funds to SLP to promote prevention, support and awareness of mental health in the Sunraysia region.

This year, motorcyclists depart Mildura and travel to Robinvale through Hattah on an hour and half long ride.

Funds are raised towards the Mildura Rural City Council and Wentworth Shire Council this year.

This year’s event involves communities of Robinvale and Euston that have a dedicated team here that will be their network to Lifeline Central Victoria & Mallee for delivery of projects that they feel the community needs.

The SLP formed in 2012 as a committee to organise the Black Dog Ride for Sunraysia but in 2017 changed to the Sunraysia Lifeline Project to bring focus to Sunraysia community needs.

The destination this year is Robinvale, to advertise that footprint SLP will raise funds and advocate for is the MRCC, WSC and the Robinvale/Euston area.

Registration fees, raffle tickets, lunch and t-shirts sales will help contribute to money raised towards the SLP.

You can donate to the event without buying a ticket through the Sunraysia Lifeline Project Facebook events page.
