Art workshop - storytelling with textiles | collage | poetry | photography

Is there a place along Middleton Bay (Binalup/Middleton Beach to Emu Point) in Albany that holds a special place in your heart?

A team of researchers at the University of Western Australia (UWA) are seeking local residents (aged 18+, residing in Albany) to tell us about your coast through textiles, collage, poetry or photography for a research study.

Join us in Albany for a workshop which will be led by a professional practicing artist. You will learn new skills during the workshop, and create art which will be used in our research.

Workshops are of 2.5-3 hours duration (see below) and will run in Albany, on the times/dates subsequently specified. No previous experience is required, with friendly professional guidance provided by a local multi-media artist, writer or photographer.

All art materials and light refreshments will be provided. For the photography workshop you will either need a mobile phone with camera or any other form of camera which you are comfortable operating yourself. For the photograph and poetry workshops, please be prepared to walk outside and along the beach.
