SUMMARY:Tufting Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, participants will create their own textile work to take home using the punch needle tufting technique. Exhibiting artist Natalya Hughes will lead participants through some of the techniques and processes she has employed to create custom textile works in The Interior. Participants will design their own motif to tuft\, extracting imagery from their experiences\, in conversation with the artist. \nThe Interior invites audiences into an exaggerated consultation room playfully furnished for psychoanalysis. A key feature of this installation is 7 rugs\, hand made by the artist with a tufting gun. Consistent with the content of the overall installation\, the symbols and motifs embedded in these objects are drawn from Sigmund Freud’s office and case studies. The textile design developed in this workshop by participants will be a motif drawn from personal experience. Punch needling follows the same technique as the mechanised process of using a tufting gun and is an inexpensive and accessible process to learn. \nThe workshop includes all materials\, including a tufting kit that participants can take home. \nVENUE | NERAM\, Mazda Gallery \nTIME | 10.00am – 12.00pm \nCOST | General price $33.00\, Friends of NERAM/Culture Club Price $30.00 \nMaximum 12 participants \n\n \nImage: Punch Needle Workshop with Natalya Hughes.
