Teaching and whingeing

I haven’t organised a bucket load of teaching for the first part of this year as I am working hard behind the blog scenes , making samples for Portland, thinking about a booth for Portland, organising paperwork for Portland and generally obsessing over Portland.

But I am teaching a new Print & Sew class at Millrose Cottage in Ballan on April 9th. This class is designed for beginners but if you don’t mind spending a day with kids, you would be welcome to join us.

Each participant will create their own design and screen using Mr Gocco and we will then print our own fabric and turn it into a basic bag.

I will show you how to clean your screen so you can take it home and use it again as a mini screen printing screen.

I am really excited about this class.We are all going to do multiple prints of our design so we can share and I have a few designs already printed for people to take home as well. If you want to join in please ring Millrose and grab a requirements list. I need to order in screens and inks and bits and bobs, so we need to be organised for this one.

 

I’ll be teaching a much less need-to-be-organised Rag Rug class on Saturday 13th April at Ballarat Patchwork.

This class is a quickie – You can book in for 10am, 12 noon or 2pm. We were almost booked out all day last time and some people made huge progress in a short time. Just ring Ballarat Patchwork to book in for that one. I am looking forward to adding a few more rounds to my rug while I am there.

I know people whinging about the weather is really dull, but I would just like my extreme displeasure to be noted and passed on to the highest authorities. As the mercury rises, so to does my propensity for narky, crabby snitchy behaviour. Consider yourself warned world.
