The Firestation was established in August 1991 as a not-for-profit workshop and gallery space, with 8 individual artist studios. Members are united in their love of printmaking, and their enthusiasm in promoting works on paper in the community. The Firestation is run by its volunteer Committee of Management, a paid part-time Workshop Manager, and many volunteers.

"Fostering creativity and innovation through printmaking."

Yolanda Matlakowski 'Good Night and Good Will' at the Walker Street Gallery



Yolanda Matlakowski is a long-time member of the Firestation, and she has a solo exhibition of her drypoints and etchings at the Walker Street Gallery in Dandenong that continues until the 28th of November.

Yolanda  graduated in printmaking from the Victorian College of the Arts, she is a regular printer in the FPS workshop, as well as being heavily involved in the life drawing classes. Check out the gallery website for more details, and make sure you get along to see the beautiful prints in this wonderful council-run gallery that is the treasure of Dandenong.

'Haunted by phantoms and in fear of the end of the world, Yolanda’s prints are dystopic and dark. Her carnival of circus characters may not be performing for our amusement but for our total annihilation.'
