Melbourne-based artist Hannah Gartside will take the workshop, which is aimed at children aged nine and above (must be accompanied by an adult) and adults.

Hannah will teach practical, hand-sewing skills and how to re-use materials, and will discuss ways to creatively re-frame the way we think about our everyday environment.

The workshop is being held with the support of Ararat Rural City Council and Creative Victoria's Full House program.

Hannah Gartside received a Bachelor of Fine Art (Sculpture) from the Victorian College of the Arts in 2016.

Prior to her visual art training, Gartside received a BFA in Fashion Design from Queensland University of Technology, and worked as a costume-maker for the Queensland Ballet Company for five years.

Fantasies is an ongoing series of sculptural works crafted from repurposed women's undergarments, including slips and nighties, and is on at TAMA until October 20.

The translucent sculptures in the exhibition explore connection and dissolving, curiosity for new sensations, and the strangeness of being in a body.

The free workshop is being held on Saturday August 24, 2-4pm at Ararat Gallery TAMA, with all materials supplied.

Bookings are essential so phone the gallery on 5355 0220 or email gallery@ararat.vic.gov.au.
