It was lovely to see some familiar faces from Manjimup Senior High School at the Centre for Rare Trades yesterday. It has only been 35 years since I have seen Dana and Kerryn, so we had a bit to catch up on over drinks and nibbles after the workshop!
All the participants loved coiling using arum lily, which is such a great beginners plant fibre. They also learned how to wax and paint threads to provide subtle colour variation in their baskets. A technique I learned from Mary Hettmansberger, when she visited Australia in 2018.
Today I am gearing up for Craft Lab running from May 20-28. I am sure to post more about this over the coming week!!! For more info go to – https://www.creativeballarat.com.au/craftdesign.
