Calling all design artists, fashion innovators, culture initiators and wearable inventors! Shearwater is thrilled to announce the launch of WAVE 2023: The Gatekeeper — the 23rd year of the Mullumbimby Steiner School’s Wearable Arts performance event.
In 2023, Shearwater’s Textiles educators are offering two free workshops to community members who want to design and enter a garment in this year’s competition. Learn how to make a work of wearable art; the best materials and tools to use and more industry tips.
Entries will be assessed by a panel of independent judges and vie for a prize pool of up to $8,000.
With five exciting design sections to be inspired by, garments can be sewn, riveted, welded, glued, painted, collaged, knitted, woven, built and assembled from metal, leather, rubber, natural fibres, industrial waste and recycled objects. The entries will be incorporated into a highly professional choreographed production, which will take place in the Shearwater Hall, in November.
To join the workshops email vanessas@shearwater.nsw.edu.au for more details.
