CREATIVE WORKSHOP WITH DEIDRE ROBB
Thursday 26th June
10am - 1pm
Morning Tea and Workshop
About the Workshop
Deidre Robb uses many hand-stitched mending techniques in her artworks including darning and patching. She also hosts regular mending sessions where people gather to repair their clothing with company and to share their skills.
In this session, Deidre will guide you through some decorative mending techniques on a small sampler. You are also welcome to bring along clothing items in need of repair so that we can workshop the repairs together.
If you own a piece of clothing (maybe even one with sentimental value or that is beyond repair) that you might be willing to donate for use in Deidre’s Collaborative Community Art-Work, then please bring it along.
About Deidre
Deidre Robb is a textile artist who investigates meaningful stories, experiences and causes. These range from the deeply personal through to universal social issues, and the environmental issues impacting on the places we live. Her interests in historical textiles, traditional handcrafts and sustainable living strongly inform her work.
Most of her artworks are made from found or imperfect textiles. Her work is almost exclusively stitched by hand, with machine stitching only used for structural purposes. This slow, considered, and reflective process is an important element in her work.
