Vietnam

Two weeks ago, the Red Penny Studios team went to work in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. We worked with Mind Gallery to hold an art workshop for KPMG. It was a blast and the end result was stunning. Relating the work to their Vietnamese experience, especially in community aid, everyone created art based on variations of the theme.

Our team consisted of Trish the party leader and spokeswoman, Warren the handyman (plus handle any problem that might arise), Vietnamese artists Kuong and Long, plus of course everyone from KPMG. Many thanks to all.

Kuong and Long kindly took us on a tour around the city on the backs of their motorbikes! We were very fortunate to see Kuong's studio, which was amazing. Four generations of artists have been there and they are hoping for a fifth. We will definitely keep in touch with them and I hope to post some of their art up one day.
