A nest is a vessel that evokes a sense of sanctuary, of comfort and of personal curation of special things. In this  workshop we will create a round vessel that reflects a combination of textiles, treasures and trims. We will start with a piece of vintage blanket as the foundation layer, representing the safety and reassurance we find when wrapped and cosy. Most focus will be on the embellishment – the use of vintage trims, crochet pieces and embroideries to create a unique vessel that you can treasure or gift.

Kate is an Australian contemporary textile artist. She tells stories through the curation, collage and embellishment of an eclectic combination of fabric, trims and treasures. Kate uses a "one flower at a time" approach to build textile "gardens" that celebrate colour, texture and layers, always celebrating and acknowledging the hands of others in the making of both vintage and cultural pieces. Kate's joy is sitting around a table of like-minds, stitching and creating while connecting through conversation and a shared love of making. She now travels extensively in order to share this joy with as many as she can, and in 2026 is collaborating with Fleur Woods in addition to her solo workshops.
