“We are so pleased that AnoAno has enabled us to offer these fun, creative workshops free to anyone who would like to attend,” said needle felting tutor Stather-Dunn.
Each participant will experience in both art forms over the three weekly sessions.
“People sometimes worry that they need to be talented at art to take part in workshops, but we are sure that everyone will be able to produce beautiful fabric art with which they can adorn their homes or themselves. We are looking forward to sharing these ancient techniques with others, so that they continue to be practiced,” batik tutor Lane said.
And as for the way that cookie cutters can be used? Well, you will have to come to the workshops to find out!
The workshops are free with all materials supplied but koha is welcomed. Participants are expected to bring their own lunch.
The workshops are happening at AnoAno, whch is part of Far North Environment Centre, in Bank St, from 10am -2pm on three consecutive Tuesdays - March 19, March 26 and April 2.
