SCULPTURAL TEXTILE ART WITH PRISCILLA EDWARDS
Sculptural Textile Art with Priscilla Edwards took place at Moonah Arts Centre on May 2. What a wonderful and inspiring workshop. Once Priscilla had taken us through the techniques of making wire shapes and adding textiles and wax, we were off and running. There was plenty of time to explore different ideas and complete pieces. Everyone produced something different and exciting, with talk about how to explore the techniques further and add our own spin to them. Photos from the day can be viewed here.
