■ HOPETOUN CRC
We’ve had a very busy few weeks running lots of workshops
for our community and its visitors.
Our Basic Sewing workshop was a colourful affair with bright
tie dye and spotty PJ pants being made.
Many thanks to Sonja Groenwald for running us through the
lesson. We learnt about different types of fabric, how to read
a pattern, how to prepare your pattern and fabric and of
course how to sew! ■ New skills were learnt in the recent sewing workshop with
Sonja Gorenwald.
Precision was the key to getting the perfect fit with Sonja
supporting us the whole way. Each participant took home
a completed pair of pyjama pants as well as resources
and new skills. If you are keen for us to run another sewing
workshop, please get in touch.
Len Metcalf, Sydney based photography teacher, inspired
and educated us on all things photography when he came to
Hopetoun to run a workshop earlier this month.
Len travelled to Fitzgerald River National Park for the first
time in September last year and vowed to return to explore
our stunning Biosphere region. Len is an incredible teacher
with many years of experience.
Len’s Hopetoun workshop was a mixed group with varying
levels of skill, quite different to his usual participants who
are typically very experienced, qualified photographers
and artists who travel from all over the world to attend his workshops. Len thoroughly enjoyed the weekend saying that
he was delightfully kept on his toes.
“It’s always lovely to know you are inspiring individuality and
HOUSES/UNITS creativity rather than a set way of thinking or being…. That’s
one of the special things I get to do. Individuality through
self expression. The world needs more of it. More self love.
More love of Mother Nature too.”
FOR LEASE Several of the participants had attended other photography
workshops in the past and said that Len teaches at another
level. He not only tells you about how to use your camera but
teaches you how to embrace the art of photography. It was a
In these towns:- truly inspiring experience.

of knowledge and his time with the group was greatly

Bees are crucial for our environment as they perform
approximately 80% of pollination worldwide. Beekeeping
if a fun and rewarding hobby with the occasional reward of
some delicious honey.
Our Wildflower Paper Making Workshop was lots of messy
fun. Following on from our previous papermaking workshop
held in July, we modified this one to fit in with the Spring
Festival and infused our paper with wildflowers.
Like any art, things don’t always turn out exactly how you
expect and nothing is different when it comes to the art of
making paper. We had a great time playing around with
colours and textures which resulted in some incredibly
beautiful pieces of paper to take home.
If you would like us to run another paper making workshop
or any other sort of workshop for that matter, please get in
