I am a textile artist and workshop facilitator based in Mt.Hawthorn, Western Australia, with over 20 years of experience sharing my love of fabric, colour and creative expression. 

Working from my welcoming home studio, I create a relaxed and supportive environment where people can step away from the pressures of daily life and immerse themselves in making. 

My workshops are designed to be stress-free and accessible—no prior experience is needed, and all materials are thoughtfully provided—allowing participants the freedom to explore their creativity without worrying about outcomes. 

In addition to my Perth-based studio, I regularly travel to Melbourne and Sydney to host workshops, connecting with creative communities across Australia.

With an early background in primary education and a career in fashion production, I bring both technical skill and a natural ability to guide and encourage others. 

After a decade of creating and selling my own textile work at Perth Upmarket, growing interest in my process led me to begin teaching, and my workshops have been inspiring makers ever since. 

I balance gentle guidance with creative freedom, ensuring each participant feels comfortable and confident in their own artistic journey. 

I have recently expanded my practice to include international textile tours, with upcoming experiences in Vietnam and India.

I’m thrilled to invite you to join me in India from 28 February to 9 March 2027 for a 10-day creative journey full of textiles, colour, and hands-on making. We’ll immerse ourselves in India’s rich traditions, vibrant culture, and incredible craftsmanship.

Before we arrive, you’ll design your own wood block inspired by floral and botanical motifs. Skilled artisans in India will hand-carve it, so it’s ready for you when we start printing on beautiful cottons and hand-dyed fabrics. I’ll guide you through stitching techniques to add texture and your personal touch to your work.

Alongside the workshops, we’ll explore local markets, meet artisans, and soak in India’s beauty. No prior experience is needed—I’ll gently guide you while giving you the freedom to create and enjoy the process.

I just know this trip is going to be absolutely fabulous, and I’d love for you to be part of it!

The trip has been carefully planned by Fiona Wright who has lived and worked in India for many years. Fiona knows all the best places to visit, the lovely local people, where to find delicious food and interesting and comfortable accommodation for us all.
