CancelledNGV Teens - Make a Pompom with Sophie Honess

Unfortunately we have had to cancel this event due to the facilitator being unwell - keep an eye out for this workshop as part of a future Glenelg Arts or Glenelg Libraries program.

NGV Teens!

Make a pompom with Sophie Honess

Create a bush flower pompom using yarn, embroidery thread and colourful felts. Tag it to your school bag, key chain or anything!

Sophie Honess is a Gomeroi Yinarr artist based in Tamworth, New South Wales. Her works are inspired by her immediate environment, finding and exploring hidden beauty on Gomeroi country through colour and texture. Sophie creates textile works that celebrate the natural beauty of grasses, creek beds, grains of sand, and bush plants like wattle and eucalyptus flowers found on Country. Designed for teens, this activity invites participants to be inspired by the natural world around them.

A po-up exhibition of botanical drawings by Colin Woolcock from the Glenelg Shire Cultural Collection will provide extra inspiration.
