The Wanaka Autumn Art School in April this year are pleased to have Jahn Morris Hill doing a 5 day class called Experimental Textiles.
More school details here- www.autumnartschool.net.nz
Course Info-
The programme will be multi-faceted, but at the core will be a focus, an old embroidery technique called Needle-Lace aligned also with Needle-Weaving. The outcomes will be as a result using some or all of the processes described above. Taking known techniques in new directions. Learning how to free up your mind, reaching out beyond your comfort zone, to ask what could happen if I tried this instead….?
There will be a lot of sampling. You may come with a theme or a colour palette in mind, but be prepared to use them with a different approach or to change direction completely. You will go home with ideas and examples as to how to alter or move in other directions, within your own textile art practice.

A series of autumn art classes for the Wanaka community. Offering an exciting programme of creative classes with highly talented tutors from New Zealand and Australia.
