The No Boundaries project team are working with individuals and groups in the Penrith area to create some tactile and textural story panels, that represent some of the themes and stories of the project.
The completed panels will be presented at the No Boundaries site in a series of installations around the columns of the colonnade.
The installations are being created in workshops led by artist David Capra.
David is visiting some groups and families to offer the workshops in their own space, and there are a series of three sessions being held in mid August that are open to anyone from the Penrith region.
In the workshop you’ll be using fabrics and textural materials to represent sensations, images, and scenes, knowing that what you create will be experienced through touch. Some glue and paint and sewing techniques will be used, with support from assistants where needed.
The project is being supported by Vision Australia who will be assisting with braille and text interpretive signs and input into the artwork.
The dates of the public workshop are the 14th, 15th and 17th of August at St Mary’s community centre. If you are interested in participating in this inclusive, mixed abilities workshop please contact us.
The maximum number of people is 20, and people with an interest in sensorial art, and art for sight impaired are encouraged to join us.
