Fabulous Fabrics Workshops
9.30 am till 4 pm each day
Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st July - Two-day "Basics and Extensions" Program - a very comprehensive workshop covering a multitude of multi-colour and one-colour techniques, exploring the use of 'found objects', plus salts and sugars, and all sorts of twists and scrunches for simply amazing results. This is my 'top of the range' workshop for building confidence in developing your flair for designing individually unique fabrics. All products used are non-toxic and non-polluting, and made in Australia.
Saturday 20th evening - times to be arranged to suit participants - Ribbons and Threads PLUS Instant Fabrics in the Microwave - learn how simple it is to colour the items to stitch and enhance your fabrics, as well as explore a few microwave techniques for times when you need that piece of special fabric in a hurry! Products used are non-toxic, so it is perfectly safe to use the same microwave oven for cooking food as well as designing fabrics.
Monday 22nd July - One-Day "Basics to Build On" Workshop - covering a selection of the topics from the weekend program. An excellent workshop for those who do not have lots of time to spare but are keen to understand and enjoy the skills.
