The Bandhani workshop at the Geelong Forum

Some of the work on display.

Here is a photograph of my workshop group - the Bandhani workshop which was part of the TAFTA Textile Arts Forum, held at Geelong Grammar School. Our tutor was Ali Mohammed Isha Khatri. We also were very fortunate to have a wonderful assistant, Philomena Hali from Alice Springs. As Ali Mohammed's arrival at the workshop was seriously delayed, Philomena very generously shared some techniques involving shibori and fabric manipulation that kept us very busy and involved until he arrived later in the week.
