Bookmaking class

What a great day we had on Saturday.

Three participants created a beautiful book each from various papers. I even made one so I could demonstrate and handily, became a gift for a 21st I was going to that evening!

Teaching in the Desert

Today I flew up to Roxby Downs in South Australia. It is a copper ( and uranium ) mining town not far from Lake Eyre,  surrounded by red desert. Having driven up this way a couple of time previously it was fabulous to fly in this time, to see the lines of the dunes and dry water courses from the air.

I am up here to run a series of workshops for both adults and children.  We will be dyeing cotton and silk as well as creating print blocks to over print the fabric.  So all is set up ready to go in the morning.

Printmaking workshop

Wow this year has been so busy, I have barely had time to make anything let alone write this blog. Coming up very quickly is my printmaking class at the Embroiderer's Guild in Malvern. It is a 2 day workshop to be held on February 25 & 26  and students will learn 4 different types of printmaking.

There may be a few spaces in the class, to book in contact the Guild.

Classes update

Bookings for classes is going well with 2 classes - Printmaking and  Advanced Bookmaking now viable. There are still a couple of places left in these so let me know quickly if you are interested. The New Surfaces has had some interest and a date is being negotiated right now. It is likely to go ahead on a Friday in November, so send me an email if you would like to join this class also.
Don't forget if you have a group of friends who would like to do a class I can work out details with you to suit the group. Minimum of 4 people required for this.
