Join Martu artist Desmond Taylor and Capel artist Helen Seiver exploring place, colour, and texture. Desmond will guide you through a painting session, helping you express how you see and feel about your home — your ‘place.’ Helen will then introduce embroidery techniques, allowing you to layer texture, words, and colour onto your painting, deepening your personal expression of home.

About the course:
This one-day workshop will feature a morning painting session led by Desmond, followed by an afternoon session with Helen, who will provide guidance on adding embroidery embellishments to your painting.
Everyone welcome! No experience required.

What to bring:
Please bring any drawing materials (e.g. notebooks, pen or pencil), a darning needle (if you have one, we will have some on the day) and apron for painting.
