WORKSHOP: Introduction to Knitting & Crochet – 1 day
Date/Time: 16/03/2014 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Price: Members $75, Non-members $125
With Anne Williams and Susan Walsh
Spend a day in the company of two fantastic tutors learning the basics of knitting and crochet either from scratch or as a refresher.
Many of us have dabbled in knitting and crochet, but how many of us really understand how to read a pattern without getting lost, how to shape and create all those amazing stitches, how to fix problems, and how we might use these skills in our creative or artistic projects... or just to yarn bomb that tree in your front yard!
Use this as a standalone course to up-skill, or to prepare for WAFTA’s Prudence Mapstone’s freeform knitting workshop coming in the autumn. Choose between spending the day knitting or crocheting, or do both with half a day on each.
12 places available. To book a place visit www.wafta.com.au/events/workshop-introduction-knitting-crochet/
WORKSHOP: Gutsy Stuff with Judy Dominic
Price: Members $150 (Early Bird $125 until March 10th); Non-members $175
When not being used to hold sausage together, gut is a very elastic material that sticks to just about anything and dries firm and semi-transparent when stretched. It can hold structures together, be used like a string, create walls or form a flexible shape. A great material to use, play outside the box – or rather, outside the tube – in this off-the-wall workshop.
This workshop is suitable for all levels of experience from beginners to practising artists in a small dedicated class.

Date/Time: 26/04/2014 - 27/04/2014 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
The seemingly simple white design on black background cloth represents the serious artistic manner of telling the stories of village life in Mali, Africa. Learn about the traditional method of bogolan fini - dying cotton cloth with mud – as well as how that process is modified two different ways in the Dominic version.
During the workshop you will create your own story designs using local muds on cotton and other natural fibre cloth. Connect with the earth and gain an appreciation of the Mali culture.
This workshop is suitable for all levels from beginners to experienced dyers wanting to try something different in a small dedicated class.
