“We don’t stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw.
Come and play with mixed media to inspire curiosity, creativity, industriousness and inventiveness.
A member of the Seed Stitch Collective, Niki McDonald has exhibited nationally and internationally and explored all things textile with a Creative Arts major in textiles and a Diploma of Education.
Niki believes that you need to play, paste, cut, rip, sew, glue, paint, draw, scratch, collage, arrange, rearrange, make, create, build and save to be in your process, discover your flow of creativity.
After mind mapping ideas and building a preliminary mood board, participants will create a mixed media canvas with stitching to emphasise colour, shape and movement. Workshop players receive; a stretched canvas, needle and wool, mixed media and collage materials.
