Two local business join forces for the ultimate painting workshop!
To be Frank is a local bakery located only 3 minutes from Shop Gal. The baked goods are not only delicious but look like pieces of art! So in this special workshop we will be creating artworks inspired by the breads and pastries of To be Frank- sounds pretty great right?!
If you have ever been curious about fashion, fabric design or painting this is the class for you! In this class you will walk into a studio filled with delicious inspiration, baked freshly by To be Frank. We will spend time snacking and painting, and working on original painted artworks. In the second part of the class Tara will teach you how to turn your artworks into a Textile Design. Leave with your own original artwork and some tips for designing for textiles. Enjoy a friendly, creative and inspiring environment.

Masterclass reviews
If you’re deliberating doing one of Tara’s masterclasses, just do it! I did earlier this week and I not only learned so much, I’m still on a high ❤️👏🎨 Keryn
"It was so lovely to meet you too and be able to chat all things pattern design.
I had some experience but also lots of holes in my knowledge particularly with drawing and knowing how to manipulate in Photoshop. Those tricks you showed me were ace!
I also really appreciated being able to hear your story and ask process questions. I do feel like I’m swimming in a big unknown ocean sometimes so it was so lovely to listen and learn from you. " -Holly
About the host:
Tara Whalley established her self-titled fashion brand after returning to Australia after a year of working with war-affected Mayan weavers. It was this time in Guatemala that formed Tara's painting practice- translating experience into artwork for fabric print and a clear direction for the basis of her fashion signature style.
