The Home Project on the Road

On 13th & 14th January I had the pleasure of filling in as one of the artists at the 'Home Project on the Road' three day arts series workshops. The original artists had participated in online arts workshops over the Covid peak last year and took to the road to deliver face to face workshops with the regions young people.

I visited Pittsworth and Cambooya and taught groups of kids loom weaving. We constructed cardboard looms and made basic tapestry pieces. Each component needed was made from something readily available around the house. This enabled the kids to continue what they learnt with little effort or investment from their adults. The kids had full control over their design and colour choices. For some it was a lesson in patience and others found an instant love for the craft.

I am thankful for the opportunity to share my love of textiles with the next generation.

My Corona Project Grant

I am happy to announce that Elise Heather Designs is one of the recipients of the Toowoomba Regional Council and the Regional Arts Services Network “My Corona” project grant. With this grant I was able to access a professional planning session with Atticus Business Accounting. During my session I was able to gain valuable knowledge about account keeping and tax. I obtained a checklist of ways to move forward in my business and was provided with many great tips and tricks.

My Corona Project Grant

I am happy to announce that Elise Heather Designs is one of the recipients of the Toowoomba Regional Council and the Regional Arts Services Network “My Corona” project grant. With this grant I was able to access a mentoring session with artist Alex Stalling in the hopes of advancing my career in the arts sector. With Alex's coaching I gained substantial knowledge of the local arts culture, ways of working with council and business, and the different directions I am able to move forward in my endeavors.
