2024 Geelong Fibre Forum - Geelong Grammar, Vic

5 day Zap Zing Zowie Masterclass workshop.
5 days of learning all my folded fabric techniques and more. We'll cover making the folded fabric circle blocks in several ways, layering for different effects, explore creative ideas for projects, big stitch hand quilting, improv piecing and more. This workshop will be a wonderful way to deep dive into making a quilt or project inspired by my quilts.
Class numbers are limited to 15 participants.
Geelong Fibre Forum is set in the beautiful grounds of Geelong Grammar, ( Geelong, Vic). Its so wonderful to live, think and breathe creativity for 5 wonderful days. Delicious meals are provided and there are evening activities ( or more sewing if you like ), friendly, like-minded people, and inspiration all round.
I'm describing this from personal experience - I attended as a student in 2023 and loved every minute! I'm very honoured to be returning to teach, but even if I wasn't I'd be going back again as a student in the following years, just to be there amongst all the inspiration and camaraderie of being with creative folks.

Let's go to Morocco!! Imagine walking through colourful markets, learn how traditional rugs are made, Moroccan embroidery, dying with madder, sunrise over the Sahara, crafts markets, costume museums, beautiful guest houses and more!!
The focus is on experiencing Moroccan places, sights and crafts, but I'll also have a sewing project for you to work on as we travel. It won't require lots of things to bring and there will be ways to incorporate treasures and inspiration that we find along the way. I'm really excited about what I have planned.
The tour is hosted by Amazigh Cultural Tours who conduct several tours a year so they are up to date and always looking out to create the very best experiences they can. The tour is limited to a maximum of 12 people. Husbands are most welcome too, Mr Daisy will be there with bells on!
