Friday Workshops - Pillows, Pants & Tie Collars

One of the biggest thrills I get from conducting workshops
is that I never know who's going to book in 
or what projects are going to walk through the doors

not entirely true 
because if you book a spot in Basics & Beyond 
I have complete control over the projects
just not your creative interpretation of them
and I will always give you the opportunity 
to discuss any projects you would like to undertake
before you arrive for the first class

so after recovering from the initial shock of Ruths phonecall
and her booking in for a workshop  
as it had been quite a few years since we last spoke
and as far as I knew Ruth didn't know what a sewing machine was
I was able to reflect on how significantly serendipitous our meeting again was going to be

Ruth gave me my first workshop gig
 at the Fremantle Art Centre a hundred years ago 
and now as I am about embark on the next stage in the journey
Ruth will be here at the end 
'swings & roundabouts'

turns out Ruth is pretty proficient with a pair of scissors
 & a sewing machine

and as she works her way through

the Basics & Beyond projects

her skills will improve 

and confidence will grow

allowing her to add yet another creative element to the already many creative abilities she has

as she embarks on the next phase in her journey

Rennae loves clothes

and we make patterns so she can wear more of them

clothes love her in return
because lets face it 
Rennae is one of those people who would look good in a paper bag

however her very active work & social life

means everything we make, gets worn

which is about as rewarding as it gets for me

…thanks Rennae

Sue joined us for one Friday

so she could create a Tie Collar

 I'm not sure if it was Sues eagerness to have one of her own

or because these days

I'm alot more familiar with how to put them together 

a bit of both I think

because by the end of the day

Sue was well on her way to completing her third!

and now that she knows how
I've no doubt there will be more! 

~~~ oo0oo ~~~

As I type this 

there is one spot left 

in the All Day Friday Workshop ...

in fact it's the only spot left for the Term!
