Join artist Liliana Pasalic for a tufting workshop where you’ll learn to make your own tufted tapestry artwork.
You’ll not only experience hand tufting and machine tufting, you’ll also learn about what materials can be used and non-traditional mediums that can engage your creativity.
What to expect:
This 2.5 hour session will combine hand tufting, machine (gun) tufting and painting. You’ll create a stretched, ready-to-hang, mixed-media artwork that you will take home!
Hear from Liliana about the techniques she uses when creating her stunning tapestry artworks. You will learn how to make your own tufting frame from reclaimed materials and gain knowledge about which fabrics can be used for tufting. Participants will talk about the possibilities of combining non-traditional mediums, boosting creativity and the benefits of a regular creative output.
Additionally, participants will contribute to a collaborative machine-tufted piece that will stay in the gallery and be exhibited as part of a future event in the gallery.
All materials included.

Liliana Pasalic has lived in Zagreb, London, and now Adelaide, working primarily with painting and tapestry.
Her practice explores themes of home and identity, frequently referencing archetypal women’s roles and stereotypical suburban depictions.
Utilizing contemporary and historical textile and tapestry techniques and drawing from her formal background in industrial design, Pasalic pushes the boundaries of her mediums, blurring and combining individual disciplines and newly incorporating LED lighting directly into the works.
“I have collected a lot of photographic source materials of pasted-up posters in the urban environments of the cities where I have lived, and within these photographs I find and extract motifs and remnant graphic elements. These refer, like a woven visual history, of my familiar psychologically mapped home environments.”
Pasalic has exhibited in solo and group shows around the world, including in Zagreb, Ljubljana, New York, Brussels, Vienna, Adelaide, Jerusalem, and Canberra. She had a solo exhibition "Multiverse" at The Mill Adelaide at the beginning of 2024.
Pasalic will be exhibiting with Kolbusz Space gallery in Perth later in 2024 with a solo in 2025. Her solo opens in Our Neon Foe in Sydney in September 2024. She is currently a finalist in the prestigious Woolahra Small Sculpture Prize.
