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
