More in 2009

Phil Fogle visited Australia 2 years ago and led several workshops, indicating tips to textile artists on how to take their own digital pictures of their work. These workshops were very much appreciated by the participants, one managed to get good pictures of her black devore, in the one session. Phil is returning to Australia in 2009, we are looking for expressions of interest for one workshop to be held in Melbounre March 2009

Marion:


Marion is now taking bookings for her business ideas workshop. In this workshop, artists and designers are asked to explore how they conduct their business, what is working, what could work better and how do we co-operate to not get squashed by the big impersonal mass market.

Let's get moving and make it workshop

This is a 2 session by 4 hour workshop. We brainstrom, take away ideas, try them and come together again 2 weeks later to report.

December 7th and 14th, both Sundays, 2008. $88.00 per person for both sessions.
  

1.  If you have a passion, you don't have the luxury of leaving the job, you have to make it work for you.
2. Confidence only comes with a bit of experience. A workshop situation that is supportive and encourages risk and experimentation is the best way to set the basis for ongoing growth and courage.
3. My mother, pictured here, is Eileen Hutchins from Hastings New Zealand. I watched my mother work at custom making dyeing and designing for many years. I often thought she could have had an easier life if she had instilled a few boundaries and systems. So I have had to do that in my life, and see it works, if I can help others, by my experience, I will. Here's a picture of Mother - at 86, she has just retired from dressmaking, and is happy just gardening and pottering around home. Success is not always how much you earn but what you are doing.
