You are very welcome to put your name on the waiting list [unfortunately people's circumstances change so there are often withdrawals later] but please do not send workshop fees at this stage.
There are still a few places left in Karen Selk's workshop. But don't delay.

Karen Selk Post Festival Workshop: Silken Kaleidoscope
Silk is the queen of noble fibres, and this is a fabulous opportunity for weavers to gain expertise in weaving with silk under the guidance of an internationally renowned tutor.
Cloth is capable of a wonderful depth, brilliance and richness of colour that cannot be obtained on a painted surface, due to the interaction of fibre structure, weave pattern, colour and light. Through a series of woven samples and colour challenges using yarns we will explore colour as it relates to woven fabric. Participants will work with effective and practical techniques to realise greater satisfaction with your colour and cloth. You will arrive with looms pre-warped (threading provided by instructor) for eight different weave structures appropriate for apparel ensembles. The samples combine silk with a variety of other fibres while investigating different aspects of colour and cloth structure. Everyone will receive a comprehensive binder containing colour, silk and structure information. Intermediate level.
This is a 2 day Post Festival workshop: Monday 30th April and Tuesday 1st May 2012
Venue: St Johns’ Rooms, Seymour Street, [centre of] Blenheim
Workshop fee $150 [includes refreshments] plus $70 material fee paid to Karen at the workshop.
The number of workshop spaces is limited, and preference will be given to Festival registrants, with allocations made in order of registration. Don’t miss out!
Registration forms will be in the September issue of the Creative Fibre magazine. Also, watch the Creative Fibre website.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience a hands-on workshop with a fabulous fibre and a tutor of such vast experience.
Although Karen has sold her Treenway Silks business, the website still presents information about Karen and her work.

Kim Thittichai Post Festival Workshop: Extreme Surfaces for Stitch
Enjoy experimenting with many layers of texture and colour to create amazing surfaces that can be developed into sculptural forms, hats, bowls, tassee heads, beads, boxes – whatever you think would be suitable. Scale will be left up to you but on a 2 day workshop we could construct something on the large side or you could choose to work small. Layers will be key to this workshop to build strength. Whether they are thin, translucent layers or thick colourful layers that are burnt back – we will just have to wait and see.
Using heavy iron-on interfacings and the fairy like qualities of Vilene Spunbond/Lutradur you will be able to experiment and develop new ideas in a fast paced and above all enjoyable workshop. Heat guns and soldering irons will used to distress and create amazing textures on which to stitch –or not!
This is the 2 day Post Festival Workshop with Kim Thittichai
Monday 30th April and Tuesday 1st May
St Johns Rooms, Seymour St, (right in the centre) of Blenheim
Workshop fee $150 (includes refreshments) with $80 material fee paid to Kim at the workshop.
This will be the only workshop Kim holds in New Zealand.
Christine says, “We are so lucky to have Kim come and teach her ‘Extreme Surface for Stitch’ workshop here for 2 full days. The number of spaces available is limited. Registration forms are in the September issue of the Creative Fibre magazine and on the Creative Fibre website. Those registered for the Festival will be given preference.
"I know that this topic doesn't fit nicely into a box of particular interest to a spinner, or weaver or felter, but it is intended to extend your horizons, make you use materials that you haven't used before, and ‘think outside the box’. I can assure you that you will!
"If you want a sneak look into what you might be doing, go to Kim's website and see what she teaches, and the what she creates."
