Territory Craft Members Exhibition Items

A couple of small items I have in the above Exhibition. The croc photo is my own photography and the album is made of recycled paper and heliconia fibre paper bound using the Japanese Stab style binding. The other is a leather hand bound journal consisting of both various hand made papers include plant fibres as well as carbon paper (bit stronger than copy paper) to enable drawing, painting etc by the writer.

Pictures of Workshop

Pictures from the Free Workshops at the Recycled Art Festival on 12th November 2010 at Malak by the Darwin City Council.

Students learning how to make paper with traditional techniques, more modern equipment and with the luxury of being indoors in the air con and under fans! Behind these ladies were people making jewellery, wearable art and beside us were people recycling jeans into handbags. It was great to see young and old all getting into recreating and enjoying themselves while learning new skills.

Recycled Art Festival workshops were great! I had fun teaching school teachers and others alike. I am sure this will be bigger and better next year. I will be posting photos of the workshop soon. This pic is of the handbook I gave participants on the day so they can take home all that knowledge and use it at their leisure! I tend to overload heads with info and ideas. I know myself that workshop notes are always the best way to learn and experiment later. If there are people who may have missed out on these workshops and would like to have a workshop within the next month, please give me a call on 0419 832 953 or email me at ntpapermaker@hotmail.com and I will fit one in before December if possible. I am only doing workshops up until the second week in December as I have family commitments during December and January. I also need time to work on my own ideas and creations for next year! Cheers for now!
