I'm a textile artist living in Warrandyte, Melbourne, Australia. I have three girls, 20, 16 and 10 yrs and am married. I dye merino and silk fibres for The Thread Studio primarily, but also work alongside Rae from Raesrags, attending shows, forums and teaching workshops. I'm on the left, Rae in the middle and my youngest girl Bella in Tassie last year.
Hi to all. I am sorry for not posting for a long while. Of course the whole family has had a cold for a couple of weeks now. They take it in turns , not all together. Sick people are time consuming!!!! I, however, being a mother, resisted the germ because I am a superwomen. I have been attempting to participate in an online shibori class offered by Shiborigirl. I have long admired her work and was pretty chuffed when I stumbled upon this class. Online classes I think are difficult to run well. Students need feedback to effectively learn. I consider feedback and the time it takes to give it one of the more important aspects. Otherwise, students might as well buy a book instead. Videos are also a great addition for those of us who are visual learners. Not necessary though if the person who runs the workshop has good pictures. I think Shiborigirl has done a great job, and even though I am unable to practise at the moment, I know that when I do, I wont be left feeling let down by lack of information. Check out her work!
