We have a few places available in our planned indigo dyeing workshop that are available to non members, please reply if interested via the comment box below. Details follow:

Unfortunately patchwork fabric is not included, but we have assurances that there will be another sale later this year. 

Well worth the trip to Mosman is an exhibition that is finishing this Sunday, January 29th. 

Slipstitch is an exhibition of contemporary embroidery from a diverse group of artists and on a wide range of subjects. The idea behind the exhibition is that embroidery can be used to convey messages in modern times just as it did in the past. I really appreciated that a number of the works featured reused textiles and materials. It was also great to see embroidery as a focus of a whole exhibition. 

Here are a couple of my favourites – I love how the stitcher used traditional methods and materials to convey a modern message.
