25 May 2024 (10:00 am) to 26 May 2024 (4:00 pm)
Broadgreen House, The Le Cren Room, 276 Nayland Road, Stoke,

Be inspired by native flora and create a unique handstitched textile collage with printing and painting techniques incorporated.

This two-day workshop is designed to explore your creativity to create a hand-stitched textile collage artwork(s). Sally is an experienced painter and textile artist who enjoys passing on her knowledge to others. Using recycled and repurposed fabrics, along with basic print-making techniques, such as stencils and Gelli prints, you will create unique fabrics to incorporate into your own work. Taking inspiration from native NZ plants, Sally will guide you along the process from designing your collage to incorporating various stitching techniques using embroidery cottons.

The workshop is suitable for everyone from experienced textile artists to beginners.

Sally currently has work at the Suter Gallery (a painting).

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days β€” the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
