Crafting Stories with Fabric and Light
Would you like to take part in a unique workshop creating an art piece using fabric and electronics? Using a variety of materials, tell a story with fabric and LED lights!
Each participant will make one section of a final piece which will join together at the end.
What story will you tell? Will it change when it interacts with other stories in the group?
How can the fabric of life, the turbulent times we live in and the effects of climate change be represented through this work?
The completed panels will form part of a community Climate Action exhibition in Central Library during the Imagine Arts Festival.
