This January from 15 to 20, the island of Tasmania, an Australian state, is organizing workshops to enhance its textile industry along with The Australian Forum for Textile Arts (TAFTA).
Each workshop will be led by established local artist. These workshops will cover a whole lot from millinery (the hat making) with Waltraud Reiner, and quilting with Susan Mathews, jewellery-making with Keith E. Lo Bue, knitting and crochet with Prudence Mapstone and puppet making with Elizabeth Paterson.
Susie Mahon, will host a workshop on doll-making. Celia Player will coordinate the work shop named 'From Sketch to Stitch' where she will teach how to sketch designs and then translate them into fabric and stitch.
Aukje Boonstra will take a workshop on dyeing, and using them to colour materials like wool, cotton, silk and paper.
Coordinators of the workshop assure a lively ambiance will prevail during the week-long event.
