Strange Creature Creations invites participants to join two of Arts Project Australia’s iconic artists; multi-disciplinary magpie enthusiast and badge-maker Miles Howard-Wilks, and soft sculpture extraordinaire Terry Williams, to create creatures both hard and soft.
The workshop will have two components which you can choose to do either one or both aspects of. Draw and make a badge with Miles, or sit alongside Terry and soak in his sewing prowess while you hand stitch and stuff a strange soft creature of your own.
Bookings required for the soft creature component (limited spots). Drop-ins welcome any time between 1pm and 3pm to make a badge.
Strange Creature Creations takes place in the thick of Strange Planet, a critter laden exhibition curated by Miles Howard-Wilks, Sandy Fernée, and Sarah Lamanna.
