In this workshop we will use the coiling technique in a different way focussing on the use of fabrics around a strong core. Using materials you will most likely have at hand, means not having to rush out and continually buy more stuff! Using up fabrics that might end up sitting in recycling centres for months on end, or worse still, going to land fill, is an economical and satisfying way to create objects of beauty.  You’ll learn how to source materials, what tools you’ll need (hint: you most likely have them already); how to put fabrics together to create a stunning palette (Kerrie will discuss a little about colour and give you some tips on easy ways to ensure you get colour working for you every time); how to prepare your fabric for basketmaking; how to start, shape and finish off your basket; and all the other juicy tips and hints needed to create a beautiful basket made in a very inexpensive way. Join Kerrie for a relaxing and meditative day as you learn this gentle and addictive craft!

Working with and understanding colour is a magical process but one that many people struggle with. Mixing paint can feel intimidating, frustrating and confusing, but it doesn’t need to be. If you struggle with mixing paint and often end up with ‘mud’; if you mix a beautiful colour but can’t remember how to get it again; if you feel like you’re wasting time and lots of money buying more and more tubes of paint; then this workshop is for you!

In this intensive workshop you will not only learn the theory of colour but also how to use colours that create confidence in your art making process. We will spend two days doing a deep dive into understanding how paints work, how to simplify your paint choices to create any colour you desire (and save money!), how to work with colour to create successful and confident palettes and how to love mud – yes mud is beautiful when you know how to use it correctly!  At the end of this workshop, you will have a whole lot of resources and information to look back at when working with colour, and a whole lot of confidence in achieving the colour mixes you want. Join Kerrie for two days of colourful fun!
