Hello my creative or soon to be creative friends. Welcome to my workshop page, I am ready for a year filled with creative zest and laughter with you all.
This year I will be working on a body of work and look forward to sharing it with you as it progresses. My studio will be open by appointment and my annual Open Studio will be held on May 3-5 2025 as part of the Tamborine Mountain Arts Collective Arts Trail.
Happy Hookers creative morning tea is now held weekly on Tuesday Mornings from 10-12. These creative gatherings offer a chance to socialize, create and be inspired all in one.
If you would like to attend on a regular basis you may be interested in the Happy Hookers 2025 Package. Package holders are priority attendees, so you will never miss out.
This year, I will be offering private rug making sessions. So if you have a project in mind and need help getting it off the ground this might be a good option for you. You can also learn Punch needle Rugmaking this way. See Punch Needle Taste Tester for more information. You may also have a group of friends or work colleagues in need of some creative bonding time, I can host up to 10 people.
Of course I will be offering Punch Needle Rugmaking as a full day workshop.
For those of you who have attended one of my Punch Needle Rug Making Workshops, and you need a kickstart or a refresher, Rug Makers Day Out is a great option. A full day of Rug Making and Socializing and you receive 10% discount off supplies on the day.
I love, sharing my passion for Rugmaking, and if you live in a regional area and believe your community could benefit from an exhibition and or series of workshops, please reach out, I love adventures and my recent trip to Punch Needle Rugmaking in Monto last year was very successful.
If you are interested in learning Toothbrush needle rugmaking AKA Nalbinding or Bohemian Braiding, it can be taught in a private session or personalized group session.
Indigo Dye and Shibori is on the cards too, just finding the right time, I love this workshop and look forward to getting my hands blue with you all email me if this sounds like your cup of tea.
Also if you have a group of 6 and would like to book a personalized group session of any of the workshops, please email me for details. I hope to see your bright ,shiny, happy faces soon.
