Lets hear it for The Repair Workshop's RED team!

L-R Emma Grace, Leyla Arcaroglu, Lizzy Sampson

Lizzy Sampson is an artist who works across a number of disciplines including paper collage and installation. Within her practice, she uses found, second hand or reclaimed materials and avoids buying anything 'new'. She incorporates this this philosophy in both her art practice and everyday life. Lizzy is currently studying a Master of Fine Art at RMIT, and among other things, is researching the practice of storage and the allocation of space for objects over people. She has worked in the community arts sector for a number of years, and enjoys collaborating with others on creative projects. You can see Lizzy's paper works on display at the Northcote Town Hall Glass Gallery throughout August and September. She also has a  pop-up project at Bus gallery (also located at Donkey Wheel House) planned for August the 3rd, 6-9pm - busy lady!

After completing his Bachelor of Science at the University of Queensland, Gregory Crocetti then went on to complete an Honours and Doctorate researching the population dynamics of bacteria involved in nutrient removal in sewage treatment plants. Afterwards, Gregory was awarded a short fellowship to research microorganisms involved in the conversion of farm waste to methane at Lund University, as part of a renewable energy program in Sweden. Since this time Gregory has moved away from research to teach science through CSIRO Education in Melbourne. He also works in an art-science collaborative (Scale Free Network) to deliver Microscope Drawing workshops.
