In This Update (04 January 2010)


Hope this update finds you all fit and well. Robyn, Amanda, Pamela and I hope you all have had a fabulous Christmas and New Year and look forward to working with you again in 2010.

We are very excited with our new focus on bringing to you the best products for all your Textile Art and Craft needs Read more...

What's In Store

We are very excited with our new focus on bringing to you the best products for all your Textile Art and Craft needs. We also want to take this opportunity to tell people that if we no longer carry their fine art products that we are setting up a new system to assist them also. As long as our suppliers carry the product we will order them in on a buying cycle and offer a 20% discount. It does mean that you need to be a little more organised and don't leave your purchases till the last minute. With not having to hold large amounts of stock we can afford to pass the savings on to you. Many art products will still be held in stock including acrylic paints, mediums,brushes etc, much of which is used in mixed media and textile art.

We have started to introduce beautiful new textiles and silks in small pieces and fat quarters for textile art and doll making, yarns (including hemp, nettle, banana) and silk products along with the fabulous Kingfisher direct application silk dyes. Felting stocks have also been extended to include beautiful hand dyed and commercial dyed pieces for doll making and backgrounds along with new equipment, etc. We are delighted to again be able to offer a good range of beautiful new Textile Art and Craft books.

Check out these items:

Felbi Wool Batts.
Mini Niddy Noddy.

Felbi Wool Batts (at left), sometimes also referred to as prefelt or needle felt, are crafted from the finest Merino wool. Felbi can be wet or dry felted.

We also have a few new items in for those of you interested in feltwork such as the Mini Niddy Noddy shown at right.

  • Beautiful tiny sequins
  • Tissue silk
  • Sari Ribbon
  • Beautiful new silk products and dyes
  • Hand-painted threads and textiles
  • Treasure Gold waxes
  • Jacquard Fabric Markers
  • Jacquard garment Dyes for natural and poly fabrics
  • Bondaweb 90cm wide

Contact us about any of the above products if not yet available to purchase online. As we endeavour to provide you with the same quality products and classes associated with Textile Artistry, please also feel free to get in touch to pass on any ideas you have that may help us to improve our range or service.

Latest Classes, Workshops & Groups

Crafters Weekends

Do you have a group of friends that escape down to the Mornington Peninsula with you on a regular basis? At Textile Artistry we can organise workshops designed specifically for your group's requirements. Whether it be felting, embroidery, textile art or mixed media we can find the teacher that suits your group. Contact us to discuss the possibilities.

As with any of our workshops, if the day doesn't suit but you are interested please let us know. If we have a waiting list and don't make the numbers we can look at changing the dates, so always register your interest regardless.

Just a reminder about our policy around classes. A deposit (minimum 50%) is required to hold your spot and deposits will no longer be refundable once the numbers are confirmed with the teacher (which is usually 3 - 4 weeks before the class). If numbers are confirmed then the class will run and if you cannot make it on the day your fee will still be required to pay the teacher. If you are unsure about coming to a class and you don't want to lose your deposit, it is best to take your chance that there will be a vacancy late in the week of the class. When you have to cancel a class very close to the date it is very disappointing for all concerned.

Take a look at our upcoming classes! Hope to see you soon.
