Reveal Creative: May 2011

Being a devoted resident of Bondi Beach, I would like to share some of my favourite haunts and past-times in an attempt to shed some light on a suburb which often is mistaken for being stuck-up and "too cool for school".

WAVERLY ARTS CENTRE
138 Bondi Road Bondi Beach
If you're a local you would have passed this community art school repeatedly on the 333 or 380 bus run. Most people never venture inside or take the time to explore the art classes that are open to all. Set in a terrace house, this school is an incredible resource to have on our doorstep and the array of courses on offer is broad. Classes include drawing, painting, sculpture, print-making, pottery, mixed media, ceramics and more. Each term runs for approximately 9 weeks and the cost is very affordable.

BONDI FARMERS MARKETS
Bondi Beach Public School, every Saturday 9am-1pm
For a long time I've been travelling to Sydney's inner west to lap up organic fresh produce. My favourite spots are the Orange Grove Market in Lilyfield and The Eveleigh Market at CarriageWorks. Finally my wishes have been granted and Bondi now has it's own weekly market for fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables, organically grown meat, baked treats, flowers and more.

BONDI 88 FM
143 Curlewis Street Bondi Beach
The Bondi FM Cafe is the first radio station/cafe/bar in Australia. The aim was to create a funky venue where music lovers can enjoy hearing and seeing the radio shows being presented live in the studio which is situated in the heart of the cafe.
