The Bairnsdale and District Agricultural Show Society have been busy all year preparing for another wonderful show, set for Saturday, November 9, for all the community to enjoy.
One of the annual events, the wearable recycled art parade has now been running annually for 12 years. Generally involving all primary school students to take part by learning about recycling, up-cycling and repurpose.
This year’s theme is “The Great Outdoors” and making this an event for more to become involved. Opening it up to also year seven-10 students and adults to show their creativity.
As an artist, designer and dressmaker, Julie Webb is hosting workshops during the school holidays.
The first will be held at School Works Supplies on Tuesday, September 24, 10.30am-12.30pm.
Charlotte has been a supportive sponsor of the event for many years and kindly opens her back room for a creative space.
The second workshop will be on Tuesday, October 1, 10.30am-12.30pm at the Bairnsdale Gallery.
This too has a lovely environment to help you be creative and the support from both Crystal and staff is always appreciated.
You can bring items along, which you may have started, or begin your outfit with the guidance from Julie. All age groups are more than welcome to come to the workshops, which are free, an indication of attendance would be required but not essential.
If unable to attend workshops, Julie is more than welcome to be available to discuss and assist further. There will be a display in the Bairnsdale library to give you ideas, pick up an entry form and show schedule.
