Introduction
This two day workshop was held at "The Pines" in Tuross Head, which is on the south coast of NSW (Australia).
Tuross Head is a seaside village on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia.
Tuross Head is surrounded by water on three sides; with Coila Lake to the north, Tuross Lake to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the east. To the west are the mountains of the Great Dividing Range. The area is well known for fishing (including fresh oysters), water sports and in particular, its wildlife (e.g. whales and birds). Tuross Head has a thriving shopping village with food outlets ranging from take-outs to restaurants. The award winning Tuross Country Club has bowling greens and a golf course.
Picturesque Tuross Head.
The workshop was held at a facility called “The Pines”. "The Pines" provides accommodation, and conference facilities in an idyllic setting in Tuross Head. It is centrally located being only 200 meters from Lake Tuross and the ocean and a short stroll from the shops and boatshed. "The Pines" is available for smaller sized groups to attend textiles and art workshops. It is run by Saint Edmunds College, Canberra (Australia) - a Catholic school and so it has a Chapel and outdoor altar for the use of visitors.

This workshop was organized by the “Eurobodalla Fibre & Textile Art Group” (EFTAG) from the South Coast region of New South Wales, Australia. It was held on the 13th - 14th April 2013 at "The Pines", Education and Retreat Centre at Tuross Head, New South Wales. My thanks to Deborah (Mandira) Currie for her outstanding organizational skills in ensuring that the workshop was a huge success.
Two-Day Workshop Synopsis
This workshop was an introduction to the dye sublimation process (transfer printing) and melded participants experiences as valuable resources to create new artistic landscapes using disperse dyes.
Participants created their own custom dyed fabric using disperse dyes via direct imaging, experimental and layering exercises. They applied painted, textured, printed imagery onto papers with disperse dyes and then transfer printed them to polyester and blended synthetic fabrics to create a suite of color and pattern studies via an iron or heat press. Participants were also introduced to the tutor's signature MultiSperse Dye Sublimation (MSDS) technique featuring multiple layering and resists employing flora as "the thematic" experience. The MSDS works imbue richly colored, textural and vibrant 3-dimensional imaging to the cloth surface.
In summary, it was a fun and exciting workshop, where instruction and experimentation forged the potential of each participant. With these new skills the participants could then include additional techniques such as collage, layering, applique, hand and machine embellishments to their newly made fabrics to create truly unique artistic expressions. All levels were welcome to this two-day workshop.
