Kait James: Stitch and Yarn Workshop

In this three-hour workshop you will create a tea-towel design using various stitching techniques. All materials provided including embroidery hoops, thread and two plain tea-towels, BYO ideas.

As a proud Wadawurrung woman, Kait James’s work explores her identity as an Australian with both Anglo and Indigenous heritage. James’s work question’s identity, perception, and our knowledge of Australia’s Indigenous communities. Utilising Punch Needling techniques, she embroiders kitsch found materials, such as souvenir tea towels, that reference colonial settlements and histories, and subverts them with Indigenous imagery and familiar references. Using humour and vivid colours, James addresses the way white western culture has dominated Australia’s history, and her personal reflections on her Indigenous heritage.

COST: Adult $95, Friend $85, Concession $75 
MATERIALS: All materials supplied.
