Rogue Planet acknowledges the Dja Dja Wurrung people on whose unceded lands we make, collaborate and learn. We pay our respects to their Ancestors and Elders, past and present.
Rogue Planet at the Clunes School of Mines
Rogue Planet is a screenprinting and creative hub in the historic Clunes School of Mines building. We bring together local and visiting creatives with the community through exhibitions, workshops and events across diverse creative disciplines. Our gallery provides artists with a welcoming space to exhibit and sell work. Workshops covering printmaking, writing and creative business skills are open to all skill levels and led by creatives from the region and beyond. The space also hosts talks and gatherings where creativity is seen, shared and supported. We value play as much as outcome and offer both physical and online platforms for makers to share and sell their work.
July weekend workshop by Julian Cornish at Rogue Planet.
A Brush with Sentient Beings: An introduction to Oriental Ink Painting, from bamboo leaf to animal.
Discover a different way to make art. This two-day workshop slows you down, clears your head and teaches you to see and mark-make with fresh eyes. You'll learn to paint living creatures; fish, dragonfly, frog, using just ink, water and a bamboo brush, guided by Zen traditions that treat the act of painting as a practice in itself. No experience needed. You'll leave with finished works, new skills and a creative approach you can keep coming back to.
Requirements list for participants
One Bamboo handle (usually white hair) Sumi-e brush, Brush size approximately. 260mm in total length, head width around 8-10mm.*If you have a number of brushes, please bring them and we will select one to use. I always have spare brushes, but most art shops have a basic brush.

Art Gallery
Our gallery is about making space for artists to exhibit and sell their work without the usual barriers of high fees, complex applications or strict requirements. Whether you're emerging or experienced, local or visiting, you'll find flexible options that work for you. The gallery serves both artist and audience, a place to see finished work and understand the process behind it. Our multi-disciplinary approach means the space stays fresh with unexpected combinations and cross-pollinating ideas that keep things interesting.

Our workshops bring people together through hands-on creative exploration. Learn new skills, share ideas, work with your hands and discover fresh directions for your practice. We host sessions across different disciplines like printmaking, drawing, writing and creative business practice. Each workshop is led by talented creatives from our local area and beyond, with every facilitator bringing their unique expertise. All experience levels are welcome, whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned maker. Some workshops run regularly, others pop up based on community interest.

Made in Clunes
Made in Clunes at Rogue Planet is about making space; for creatives, for ideas, for community. At the centre of the project is a reimagined use of the old Clunes School of Mines building. It will bring together local and visiting creatives within a community of like minded creatives. The space cultivates and promotes exhibitions, workshops and small events across a diverse range of creative disciplines. It provides a digital and physical platform for artists to show and share their work in a place that nurtures play as much as outcome.

Community space
At its core, Rogue Planet at the Clunes School of Mines will offer scheduled opportunities to gather, learn and connect. There'll be moments that are structured like events, talks and exhibitions. But also moments that are casual and conversational, a quiet cup of coffee, a creative afternoon tea, a spontaneous chat in the gallery. The space is designed to be flexible, low-pressure and welcoming. It's not only for creatives or workshop attendees but for the curious neighbour, the visiting friend, the passer-by who stops in and stays longer than they planned.

Nicholas Mau
2010
Limited edition screenprint of 22 on Fabriano Rosapino Cotton Rag. 1000 x 700mm
Nicholas Mau is an Australian screenprint artist whose bold, satirical posters merge political commentary with the craft of serigraphy. Born in 1967, Mau's practice is rooted in a childhood fascination with ephemera - the patterns, typefaces and vivid imagery of mid-century print culture. Today, he channels these influences into large-scale works that subvert nostalgic aesthetics.
Mau's works are held in major collections including the National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Victoria, State Library of Victoria and internationally at the National Library of Estonia and Chaumont Poster Museum in France.
