The workshop at Emu Park with Ruth Wagner

Preparing to start at the Kaleidoscope and Hollow boxes workshop. An example is on the wall.

 This is a very good example of the hollow boxes using a feature fabric. It shows some open, solid, basic and sliced - to the right and left -  cubes.

 Ruth is showing how to start with the strips.

Working very hard before stopping for a break.

Everyone loved this slice for afternoon tea
