Community Mural

You are invited to share in the creation of a Peaceful Craft Mural for the summer to be proudly displayed at the Burnside Library & Community Centre.

The theme is ‘Peace’ and ‘Joy’ so perhaps have a thought on ‘what brings peace to you’ and in turn ‘what brings you joy’. This could be anything from a colour, shape, feeling or word. Come along to the final workshop on Thursday 18 November 3 pm – 5 pm near the Library entrance and add your individual approach to this peaceful sewing practice.

On arrival, you will be greeted by Miss Libby Rose and invited to ‘take a fabric square’ and decorate using sewing techniques with colours as specified to the mural (always adding your individual approach.)
You are encouraged to bring along any materials you may wish to use, upcycle or offer to others to use in the piece. Think as ‘mixed media’ as you can, as long as it can be sewn or stuck it has the opportunity to be used! Buttons. sequins, tassels, and all sewing notions are gratefully welcomed.

Once all the squares have been decorated the piece will be sewn up to create a large ‘lotus mural’ for display throughout summer. Your square will have lines and colour themes to fit in with the lotus shape or shall we say the ‘bigger picture’ but within this remit the creativity is all yours.
