WILD ABOUT FLORA this workshop is fully booked, email textures@grampianarts.com.au to go on the waiting list.
Australia, with thousands of species of wildflowers, is beyond compare. They range from petite and quiet to large and self-asserting. Using these wildflowers as inspiration we will create fibre jewellery. Using the colours, and forms of the plants to guide us, we will find ways to interpret these shapes. We will try to find the essence of the flora, its expression in wool.
4 Day  |  Monday 21 – Thursday 24 March 2022
INVESTIGATE 
Using nuno as a medium to investigate, explore cut outs to create complex patterning through layering of fabric. These can be later embellished with stitching if desired. Measure, shape and fit your own vest though wet felting. You will create a template to fit your body, allowing for difference in shrinkage for individual layout, and then finish with the perfect fitted vest after felting.

PAM DE GROOT

After originally working as a studio potter, Pam has now worked in the field of Fibre and Textile art for almost 19 years, creating wearables, accessories and more recently sculpture.  In this time she has explored new approaches to using felt, fibre, dyeing techniques and colour. She particularly pushes the boundaries of what is possible within felt making to reach new innovations in this ever growing field of textiles.
Pam’s work is informed by the natural world, its shapes, colours and the materials under her hands.
“I hope to excite the viewer with the possibilities and mysteries of this craft.”
