Join us for A Quilter’s Workout — a lively keynote lecture and trunk show with international award-winning textile artist Tania Tanti, as she shares the stories and creative process behind her quilts.
Discover how Tania’s work springs from a deep creative drive, guided by curiosity, play, and a willingness to see where the fabric leads. Through bold colour, layered surfaces, and experimental techniques, she reimagines traditional quilting into contemporary works full of energy and emotion.
With her signature light-hearted touch and sense of humour, Tania’s talk celebrates the joy of making and the boundless possibilities that unfold when creativity meets cloth.
This is a ticketed, catered event — with a preview of the show quilts from 7.30pm.
Ticket price includes refreshments, keynote lecture and show preview.
