we have been busy!

A quick newsy update on events since the Kapiti Visual Arts summer school for those who think we have packed up and left town! Not.


6 months have passed since working with India Flint. Students have yeilded a great crop of work from Billee, Rachelle and Cleo in particular. I would love to see what the others have been up to...

These three have been busy performing amazing feats with plants and pots and fabrics. As I am the lucky one who gets to see it all I had better share!


Raw natural fibres transformed into articles of desirable dyed works on mannequins and forms that defy the concrete in favour of the abstract expressions of beauty. We have shared it all with the new students and created a bit of a permanent dye pot area in the room for students to carry on with.

Competitions in local and national Wearable arts, campus events and workshops have been held to extend the skills and knowledge gained.

Here are some of the textile pieces.......
