Crafting Textile Jewellery with Astrid Visser.

This Textile Jewellery Workshop, led by artist Astrid Visser offers an opportunity to explore the repurposing potential of discarded artwork by incorporating textile elements to create our own textile jewellery creation.

Explore a variety of techniques, including embroidery, and paint and resin application. Gain insight into Astrid's material-led practice, exploring, selecting and combining materials.

All materials are provided but if you have works on canvas or other materials you may want to repurpose into jewellery then bring them along.

Your $160 fee includes a light lunch and a glass of wine.
