Although I've never actually met her, I am pretty convinced that Dawn Tan would make an excellent friend.  She just seems so sweet and likeable, she loves cooking and eating good food, she's  SUPER talented, and she has a very cute haircut.  So many great friend qualities!  And who could forget those awesome pics of Dawn dressed up as a bag of squishy marshmallows gallavanting around the NGV?

IF like me, you are hoping Dawn might want to be your friend (or at least make your acquaintance), Your BEST chance of making this happen is by popping in to Harvest Workroom in Brunswick anytime next month, where Dawn will be artist in residence for the whole of March!

Dawn's residency will involve a pop up shop, 'Little Artists' kids workshops and adult watercolour illustration classes! - no experience necessary!  The adults will work with Dawn over three classes to create their own Dawn-style water colour recipe.. what a brilliant idea!  There should be more adult illustration classes in the world!

The adult classes start THIS THURSDAY and are limited to just 15 places so you better snap up your place here!  For more info on Dawn's residency keep your eye on the Harvest website.

*ps) I have just noticed, looking at Dawn's blog just now, that she had some awfully sad news last week. :(  Perhaps this post is now ill-timed... I am not sure.  Let's send sweet Ms Tan many virtual hugs and hopefully even some real ones  at Harvest in the coming weeks.  As far as I know her residency is still going ahead... Lots of love to you Dawn, our thoughts are with you xxx

No one draws food like Dawn!
