NCEATA CREATIVE TEXTILE RETREAT 2012
 FRIDAY 18th to SUNDAY 20th MAY 2012
A weekend away in Hunter Valley Vineyard country,
with creative play,
great venue,
great people,
great workshops.
Make it a longer break or come as a couple: you create while your other half has plenty to do.
SOME THINGS TO DO:
Kurri mural tour (contact Kurri Tourist Information Centre), wine tasting, cheese tasting, Hunter Valley Gardens visit and/or a round of golf.
TUTORS IN 2012 will be: Lorraine Parker, Susie Bowring-Miller, Jan Clark and Trish Hickey.
NCEATA fosters student participation through offering a scholarship to a senior school student to attend the Retreat. The 2010 winner hailed from year 11 Gorokan High and she was an enthusiastic participant in Clair Brach's workshop.
Another student from Belmont High joined the creative felting workshop with Wilma Simmons. This student has won ATASDA'S (Australian Textile and Surface Design Association) NSW Orange Forum Scholarship 2011.

Fabric manipulation and surface embellishment. Create your own unique textured fabrics
using multiple techniques for use in home furnishings or apparel.
By the end of this workshop you will have produced two original pieces of fabric that you can make into a bag, photo album or journal cover.
A number of textural effects will be applied to transform fabric by tucking, folding, puffing, heat setting, manipulating and shrinking.
You will also work with 'texture magic' combined with batting and machine embroidery stitches.
Surface embellishment will include using fibre, yarn and fabric, twin needling and free motion stitching.
Lorraine will also show you other ways to use the techniques in home furnishings ( cushions) and apparel.
As some fabric is more suitable than others for these special techniques, a kit is available direct from Lorraine. Contact Lorraine on email: lorraine.parker2@bigpond.com.

Wild and woolly crochet, aka scrumbling, that will make
you laugh as you use traditional crochet stitches without the tradition.
In this workshop each participant will combine and experiment with simple knit and crochet stitches/patterns to create various organic and multi-directional forms and fabric.
Colour-play will be a key element to help each participant gain confidence in this oftentimes ‘tricky’ area of art.
Various joining techniques and how to keep the ‘fabric’ flat will be demonstrated and discussed. A few surface stitches and embellishments will be played with to give textural detail to the form/fabric.
While all of the ‘techniques’ that will be used are helpful and fun, the main idea of this workshop is to ‘relax’. In other words ‘ZIP INTO THE ZONE’ and allow yourself to play, play and play!

JAN CLARK with LAYERING WITH INTENT
Using imagery and a variety of mixed media techniques, we will build up
textile surfaces and explore the construction techniques of the small format art quilt.
Over two days we will look at the journey involved with making original small format quilts. At exhibitions the finished pieces you see are often the result of explorations fraught with indecision and desire. The serene face of the finished work shows none of this.
Art quilts are built up in layers, physical layers and layers of meaning. Starting at the beginning with the first layer you will be encouraged to work towards a final surface that expresses your personal creativity, with some twists and turns on the way.
We will be making some painted fabrics to add to the mix. While beading is too time consuming to include in the two day workshop, glitz, yarns and sheers are always welcome for complex surfaces that sing.
