Our final workshop for QUAD: Fundamentals will bring to our Artist Studio. Space is limited so please message us for a link to register. As this is a free event, preference will go to youth, disabled and First Nations participants.

In this workshop participants will botanically bundle dye a silk bandana using earth pigments as a mordant and locally collected folliage, botanically print 2 pieces of A5 water colour paper and while everything is cooking in the dyepot you will create a botanical nature brush and use ink for mark making inspired by seedpods.

Participants will leave with a finished silk scarf and fundamental knowledge about using botanical dyes.

“Waterways are the bloodline of Country. Water is our mother, our lifeblood, our lore. It’s intertwined with many cultural practices like storytelling, ceremony and survival. Water is much more than a resource, it’s a relative.”

‘Water Connects Us All’ by Arakwal Bundjalung artist, Nickolla Clark, celebrates the traditional practices of Bundjalung people, and their rich cultural heritage associated with water 💙

Her works share important messages taught by her ancestors - the matriarchs who strongly advocated for the health of Country - and call attention to the ongoing sense of urgency to sustain waterways.

On display until 9 November 2025.

Clark was the recipient of the Bundjalung Award, Wollumbin Art Award 2024, sponsored by the Tweed Regional Gallery Foundation Ltd. A Tweed Regional Gallery initiative.
