COLLABORATIVE MARK-MAKING
Tegan Jenkins & Natalie Scholtz

Come play with artists Tegan Jenkins and Natalie Scholtz.  You’ll explore collaborative mark-making… on a large scale. Rove between different art-making stations, exploring mediums such as neon paint sticks, charcoal and silhouettes. Discover new ways to challenge and inspire yourself and others, and explore the elements of chaos and control inherent in this collaborative creative process.

This workshop is inspired by the creative journey of the High VisAbility project.

CRAFT YOUR STORY – ORAL STORYTELLING SKILLS
Centre for Stories

Every one of us has a story to tell. When you are able to learn how to structure your real experiences into a moving, evocative and meaningful oral story, and tell it in a way that really touches other people, you not only improve upon your communication and public speaking skills – you are also coming to a fuller understanding of yourself and the positive impact you can have on others.

Join experienced trainers from Centre for Stories, have a yarn with fellow attendees on a deeper level and learn how to craft and tell a short story inspired by your practice and journey as an artist or creative worker so far.

ECO-DYEING
Geri Hayden

Join Geri Hayden to yarn together and learn traditional eco-dyeing techniques. You’ll make your own eco-dyed piece, celebrating the native flora of the area. 

An accomplished textile artist, Geri has been involved in CAN’s doll-making and textile-based projects since 2010, which have evolved into a form of cultural transmission, encouraging strength of identity and pride.

NATURAL JEWELLERY
Sultana Shamshi

Sit with jeweller/artist Sultana Shamshi to make your own gumnut jewellery piece. Sultana is originally from Bombay, India, and since migrating to WA she has incorporated nuts and seeds from Australian native trees into her jewellery-making practice. She finds gumnuts intriguing to work with, representing the idea that jewellery does not have to be made from “precious” materials as we know them; the crafting of adornment is what makes it precious. As Sultana says, “To make something oneself is to make something intensely personal and that is a very satisfying activity.”

Zali Morgan
