It was a 5 day conference organised by Glenys Mann - founder and owner of Fibre Arts Australia . Glenys organizes five-day textile/fiber conferences throughout Australia, which feature highly talented international artists and designers, who share their knowledge and practices.
Other international tutor’s, who shared their valuable knowledge, techniques and informative lectures included: John Garrett (Experimental Fibre Constructions with Alternative and Recycled Materials, USA); Sherrill Kahn (Mixed Media, Collage/Applique and Composition Techniques, USA); Cherilyn Martin (New Dimensions in Surfaces & Stitch, A Journey of Discovery, Netherlands); Cherrilyn Tyler(A Little Bit Of Frippery, UK); Els Van Baarle(Transformation through Wax, Netherlands).
At our Cloth workshop we created our own fabric by applying paint, textured, printed imagery onto papers with disperse dyes and then we transferred the prints to polyester and blended synthetic fabrics to create a suite of color and pattern studies via an iron or heat press. Each student from all the classes offered at Cloth participated in an exhibition on the final day.
