Murrurundi art workshops

2 weeks ago we had the pleasure of hosting Australian artist Tricia Reust to teach a multi media workshop in Murrurundi. 12 students attended the 2 day class and enjoyed the tuition immensely. Not only is Tricia a greatly accomplished artist but she is also an excellent teacher.

I did 2 works...untitled, 90x90cm

And the second was an interpretation of my digital image "She Glows", 90x90cm

Murrurundi Arts Council is sponsoring another workshop on the weekend of May 17-18th with printmaker Sandra Pearce. See some of Sandras art at www.sandrapearce.com.au. Rodney and I will be doing this one too and we invite all others who would like to join to book now by contacting Love at 0431398833. The cost is a very modest $120 for the 2 days.

About Boho Banjo art to wear

I’ve been a multi media and textile artist for 20 years but as a younger woman I trained to be a fashion industry pattern maker. Recently I updated my 30 year old patternmaking skills to the contemporary digital age and began publishing pdf patterns. As a full figured middle aged woman I’ve been frustrated in my search to find artistically styled clothes that were comfortable to wear and flattered my shape.

I started the business “Boho Banjo art to wear” based on my desire to offer a style of clothing that is loose, relatively unstructured and that moves on the body when worn. Clothing that is designed for comfort and practical ease of movement but still shows off the wearers individuality through innovative cut, embellishment, detailing, colour, pattern and design.
