Makers Space with Tarni Eastwood
19 January to 4 May 2024
The Leo Kelly Blacktown Arts Centre
Summer is here, and it’s time to get making!
Launching as part of Hive Festival, we are thrilled to introduce our brand-new program – an immersive and interactive Makers Space for creatives of all ages.
Led by guest artists and curators, the Makers Space offers a year-round, dedicated space for reflection, creativity and play.
Our first Makers Space guest artist is Ngiyampaa and Guringai weaver and curator Tarni Eastwood. Known for her engaging and informative weaving workshops, Tarni has created an immersive world that combines her love of weaving with First Nations knowledge, sharing, and storytelling.
So come in, touch and feel the objects, take a seat on the mats and get making.
Curated by Talia Smith, with concept by Louisa Minutillo.
Suitable for all ages
Please note that some activities are best suited to ages 5+
