Breakie with Beci (TAS)

When: 10th October 2009

Time: 10:00am - 12:00pm

AGDA Tasmania are very proud to present a morning with this world-class artist and textile designer. Bookings for this event are strictly pre-sale and allocated on a first-in basis so RSVP now to secure your seat. The morning will have two parts, first, sit, relax and enjoy a delicious nibbly Brekki whilst listening to Beci. Then in conjunction with the good folk at Crafternoon and other special guests, join in on a selection of fun hands-on demo craft workshops. This will also be a Q and A with Beci.

Beci Orpin is an artist/designer based in Melbourne, Australia. She is well known for her whimsical, intricate creations and feminine dreamscapes. After graduating from BA textile design at RMIT in 1997, Beci went on to work freelance, designing textiles and graphics for a wide range of clients including Burton Snowboards, Built by Wendy, Mercedes Benz, Bloom Cosmetics, Time Warner, Universal Music and Dark Horse comics. In 2009 she is launching a new accessories, homewares & stationary brand under her own name. Beci also frequently creates and exhibits artwork in many different mediums. She has been involved in over 35 shows in galleries in Australia, UK, Japan, Spain and US. Beci's work is influenced by many things that change all the time,  but re-occuring themes include nature, childhood memories, wooden toys, found objects, folk and domestic arts, darkness and the unexpected.

Crafternoon is a group for crafty, artsy and designy types in Hobart. We meet roughly once a month (sometimes more) at varying locations to craft, chat, share, drink tea (or sometimes beer), bake and generally be friendly. We've been known to have exhibitions, do community work and help out with the ODD + EVEN market.
