Mind Body Spirit Festival - SYDNEY

  • ICC (International Convention Centre) (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Strange but true… I will be setting up a stall at the Mind Body Spirit festival in Sydney this year. Why? Because embroidery is therapy. It is mindfulness, it is healing, connecting, peaceful.

I want to convey all this to everyone who visits my stall. I will have designs created especially for this event. Patterns that will be perfect for mindful and meditative creative practice.

Come along, have a chat and see my collection of:

  • Embroidery kits

  • Printed patterns on linen

  • thread packs

  • Embroidery hoops

  • Needles

  • Lots of examples of my own finished work

Easter Egg Painting Workshop - ROBERTSON, NSW

Paint beautiful Easter eggs easily even if you’re a complete novice. I show you the exact steps and tricks to make the process super easy.

Once a year I return to one of my favourite crafts, Easter egg painting. I have practiced this since watching my grandfather in Poland paint eggs with wax and then dye them with onion skins. I’ve painted Easter eggs for decades and now love to share this beautiful Easter tradition with you.

Texture, softness and thick tactile results are what students get out of this class.

The results are stunning but are simple to apply. Students will use both ply and single spun yarn for different effects and will learn a variety of both filling and outline stitches. Perfect for those who have done some embroidery previously.
