Upcoming events.
Christmas Collage Birds
Join me at the Rockingham Arts Centre in Rockingham, Western Australia for a unique and creative workshop that invites participants to create a special gift or handmade decoration for the Christmas season.
In this workshop, participants will be inspired by Australian and non-Australian birds to create beautiful Christmas bird collages out of fabric scraps and embellish the birds with simple hand-embroidery using a variety of threads and texture in a 4-5 inch embroidery hoop.
Slow Stitched Collage Bird
Participants will have a choice of a creating Splendid Fairy Wren or a Striated Pardalote, or attempt a bird of their choice. Explore colour choices, pattern, texture and shapes and create a collage bird on a painted and collaged background.
Participants can bring an image of a bird of their choice that they wish to attempt.
Contact Rockingham Arts Centre to register (by October 4th). Ph: 9527 0734, Wednesday to Sunday, 9am to 4pm
This is an example of a Splendid Fairy Wren made with fabric collage and embroidery.

Interested in a workshop?
I have run many workshops over the years from young children to adults in various settings. If you are interested in having me run a workshop for your craft group, church, well-being day etc. please contact me. I would love to tailor make a workshop for you depending on your requirements and interests.
Teachers! I also love visiting schools and running workshops with students. As a qualified teacher myself, I have lots of teaching experience and I would love to come and share my skills with your students. I can cater my workshops to almost any age group or level, and these fabric collage techniques can meet curriculum outcomes for both Visual Arts and Design & Technologies.
