SLOW STITCH// HOT TEXTILES

Boro#eco dying#fabric jewellery#heat textiles#dissolving#up cycling#printing#rust and discharge#bead and cord making#felting#weaving fabrics.

Come and join me in a stimulating, fun, creative class, where each week a new technique using fabrics will be explored. Stay for the afternoon or just drop in.

All ages and abilities are most welcome.

I am aiming to create an exciting group where creativity and experimenting is the main focus , as well as a relaxed environment where like minded people can get together. Up cycling, recycling, using up all those bits and pieces that get hoarded.

Cost: Each class will cost $10 and most specialized bits will be provided such as solvy with the generous funding of the Creative Communities Scheme.

Where: The classes will be held in the Elizabeth Street Community and Art building, the cream one opposite the yoga centre.
