pop! goes the weaver
You are cordially invited to the final event of my residency at the awesomely lovely Iramoo Community Centre. As part of the Show Us Your Arts day, I will be presenting the work ‘WE are Wyndham Vale’ to the community centre.
Following the unveiling, I’ll be holding a FREE coiled weaving workshop. Come along and learn the basic technique of the ancient art of coiled weaving with some unusual materials and a few radical applications. The workshop will be held in the community centre kitchen and there will be ample supplies of tea and cake. Naturally. You can RSVP here. Places are very limited so please call the centre or email me to book your spot.
There will be a heap of other artistic activities happening around the centre on the day. The flyer is below. Be sure to call the centre to book any of the events you are interested in.
A big thanks to the Iramoo Community Centre and the Wyndham City Council for supporting this event.
Progressions
It’s been a bit quiet around here as I’ve been very busy stitching!
For those of you who have been following the progress of the WE are Wyndham Vale project, the photos in this post are all progress shots for you to check out. Submissions closed last week and there was some truly visionary ideas contributed to the project. I can just imagine all of the ideas coming to life and Wyndham Vale becoming a truly sustainable and vibrant community!
I am in the throes of stitching now and I invite anyone who wants to join in to come down to Iramoo and get involved. I’ll be there in the kitchen stitching for the following sessions next week:
Monday (25th Jul), Wednesday (27th), Thursday (28th), Monday (1st Aug) from 11.30-2.30.
If you have always wanting to learn embroidery, come along and I will give you a lesson. Or if you’ve been stitching since birth, and everyone in between, come along and stitch your favourite part of the map. All materials are provided. We’ll be hanging in the kitchen stitching, drinking tea, and eating cake! If you haven’t been there before and want to come along the Iramoo community centre is at 84 Honour Avenue, Wyndham Vale.
I have a date for the unveiling too. Stay tuned for news on that another exciting workshop!
