Wearable Art Workshop 2

Catherine O’Leary is an Australian Artist, based in Melbourne who works primarily in the Textile Arts.

With a formal training in Fine Arts, Catherine's portfolio spans thirty years.

She has mastered the art of feltmaking and utilises it as a vehicle for the creation of three dimensional forms.

These forms consist of wearable garments such as jackets, dresses, skirts and innovative sculptures.

Hand dyed, printed, hand embroidered and illustration techniques make  each piece a unique work of Art.

Most of the fabric used has been recycled, making her practice sustainable and environmentally conscious.
