Join Tricia Bygott at this 4-hour needle and thread workshop at Bukeshla’s new warehouse studio space on Pakenham Street.

The Art of the Trim will embrace a few simple stitches, using a minimal yet potent touch and the needle and thread as our ‘pen’, from the subtle to the striking, with simplicity as our guide.

This inspiring workshop will offer tools to take away for future projects, be it garment design, interior furnishing applications, cloth, clay,  jewellery or another creative application.

Please bring a fine-line pen, ink or pencil, and something to draw on, along with any pieces or samples of product you are currently working with.

Tricia will provide ample cloth and thread, and the art of the sampler will be your record and teacher to take away.

Limited spaces – tickets are $140 including a light supper, offering you a kitchen-free evening.

Address
33 Pakenham Street, Fremantle

Tricia Bygott

Tricia studied textile design in the early eighties in Melbourne, and it is this foundation, and the following 40 years of practising her craft, that inform the scope of her making and teaching. 

With business partner Nathan, she turns her passion for cloth into living garments as Bukeshla, operating from a small atelier on Wray Avenue in Fremantle. 

Workshops, held in a new dedicated space on Pakenham Street, extend the great juggle – in the spirit of sharing her knowledge, in recognition of the power of people coming together with needle, thread and cloth.

Tricia’s stitching practice is deeply steeped in the acknowledgment that the making process plays a vital part in the healing of the soul. Through her own lived experience, and the role it has played in her own healing, it continues to be a welcome balm. She notes  how commonly this is a lived experience for so many.. and she is passionate about this potent aspect of the creative process and sharing her insights.

Tricia is an inspirational teacher who will look after each participant  individually , as well as recognise the group collective and how participants will  learn from each other. She looks forward to each and every opportunity to be with makers wherever they are in skill , whatever their use of medium .. and the fountain of possibility that is available for us to tap into.

About Bukeshla

Fremantle-based label Bukeshla is built around the artisanal and the beautiful, working from the belief that how a garment feels on the body shapes how a person moves through the world.

Working with natural materials, every piece is created with care, from cutting through to hand-sewn buttons and finishing, an approach the team holds as a way of bringing presence and attention to work that mass production leaves behind.

Sustainability, for Bukeshla, sits in method – in the intention carried through each stage of making, which they believe can be felt by the wearer.

The label’s designs draw on classic, timeless roots while continuing to reinvent itself, with original hand-stitched details setting the work apart.
