Hello my creative or soon to be creative friends. Welcome to my workshop page. Please find the 2026 workshop schedule now online.

This year I continue to focus on a body of work and look forward to sharing it with you as it progresses . It seems my greatest challenge as an artist these days is the ability to withdraw from the outside world to create, but it is a necessary part of a contented life for me.

My studio is open on Tuesdays from 10-12 and otherwise by appointment . My annual Open Studio will be held on May 2-3, 2026 as part of the Tamborine Mountain Arts Collective Arts Trail.

Happy Hookers creative afternoon teas will continue to run weekly on Saturday afternoons from 12.30-1.30. These creative gatherings offer a chance to socialize, create and be inspired all in one.

If you would like to attend on a regular basis you may be interested in the Happy Hookers 2026 Package. Package holders are priority attendees, so you will never miss out.

This year, I will be offering private rug making sessions. So if you have a project in mind and need help getting it off the ground this might be a good option for you. You can also learn Punch needle Rugmaking this way. See Punch Needle Taste Tester for more information. You may also have a group of friends or work colleagues in need of some creative bonding time, I can host up to 10 people.

For those of you who have attended one of my Punch Needle Rug Making Workshops, and you need a kickstart or a refresher, Rug Makers Day Out is a great option. A full day of Rug Making and Socializing and you receive 10% discount off supplies on the day.

I love, sharing my passion for Rugmaking, and if you live in a regional area and believe your community could benefit from an exhibition and or series of workshops, please reach out, I love adventures and last year I was part of Charleville's C reative Lane where I met some new friends to share Punch Needle Rug Making with.

If you are interested in learning Toothbrush needle rugmaking AKA Nalbinding or Bohemian Braiding, it can be taught in a private session or personalized group session.

Indigo Dye and Shibori is on the cards too, just finding the right time, I love this workshop and look forward to getting my hands blue with you all email me if this sounds like your cup of tea.

Also if you have a group of 6 and would like to book a personalized group session of any of the workshops, please email me for details. I hope to see your bright ,shiny, happy faces soon.
