Tapestry Design to Weave 3 Day Workshop in Westport with Master Weaver
Designing for Tapestry in Westport - Three Days with Master Weaver Marilyn Rea-Menzies. $360.
Tapestry Weaving inspired by the fascinating New Zealand bush and beaches of the West Coast, Buller District. You will be taken by master weaver and practicing artist Marilyn Rea-Menzies for short strolls into the local bush, along the river and beaches, to find inspiration for a series of designs that can be woven as tapestry.
Images from nature have dominated themes in tapestry and other textile mediums for hundreds of years, and you will be acknowledging this continuum in the workshop.
This three-day workshop covers a range of design and tapestry techniques, commencing with your own collection of either sketches or photographs as a starting point. Marilyn will guide you to translate your images into compositions of one, or a small series of works using the design and technical and aspects required for weaving tapestry.
This workshop is open to beginners and for those with prior tapestry weaving experience, who under Marilyn's tutorage will take your artistic abilities to the next level. Everyone will work at their own pace.
This small group workshop is held at Marilyn's private studio in Westport, there are a range of accommodation options nearby. It runs 10-4 each day for three days.

WANTED: Toy poodle/ shitzu cross female unneutered puppy for good home.
Not in any hurry, in fact if your dog is currently pregnant and you know the dad then that would be perfect. Then we can meet and you can decide if you trust me with your precious puppy and let me know how much you sell the puppies for. I was thinking $500 I mean I don’t know how much you usually pay for a pure bred crossed with a pure bred? $1000?? I am happy to negotiate what you usually sell your puppies for. I would like her at around 3-4 to have her own puppies just because I think it’s fair on her she will like it and then maybe neuter her after that or it could be too taxing on her body. Please call or text Louise 0276025945 or email louisemarychaney1@gmail.com
Beware of this driver!
Last Friday, outside 51 Barnard St, Wadestown the driver of LAD439, whose name I know and who was witnessed and photographed, reversed into my orange Suzuki Swift, then looked at the damage he'd caused, then left a note with his name and a phone number. I have been to the police, and the number they have for him id different to the one he left me. He is not answering calls to either number. Locals are a bit over this sort of thing happening in this location. if anyone knows this man, initials 'S.A', please let me know or give him a good talking to on my behalf!
