Just a few photos, Fibres as a group is very busy at the moment, creating pieces for the Reef Project that we are involved in. I have included the relevant information at the bottom of this post. There are quite a number of workshops out in the community, these too are listed below.
Weave the
reef from junk
First Wednesday of every month at Fibres from 10am
we will be making reef. You can work on your own project
or I can show you what to do. Marion
Weave the Reef -
Love the Reef
Join members of Fibres and Fabrics Association Inc. with
artist Marion Gaemers in a series
of free, pop-up community
workshops throughout 2015 in the Townsville CBD.
Participants will be guided in creating coral reef structures
from marine debris, recycled clothing and
crochet, including ghost nets and rubbish collected from Tangaroa Blue
Foundation Beach Clean ...Ups.
Components of the community artwork resulting from the workshops will be
displayed at 'ECO Fiesta', during 'Strand Ephemera', and culminating in a large
installation at Perc Tucker Regional Gallery and Flinders Street during the
major exhibition 'REEF', to be launched in December.
