Join us for a day of exciting professional learning, inside the In Aetheria studio, where you will spend your day gaining confidence in a textile decoration technique that will also give you the opportunity to let your creative juices flow! 

Run by the talented multifaceted designer, artist, creatrix and founder of In Aetheria, Amanda Lo Bartolo! Amanda studied Fashion Design at RMIT and her experiences kept leading her to this free flowing and magical discipline. 

During the session you will create your own water marbled textile piece as well as leave with different fabric sample swatches to show and inspire your students. 

This professional learning session is directed to any Design and Technologies teachers at any experience level and the medium being focussed on will be fabric. 

Life started to make a whole lot more sense, when Amanda, the founder of In Aetheria Studio realised her offering to the world was to be the merging of the art of water marbling with fashion design and healing into one experience. 

This workshop will introduce attendees to the traditional techniques of water marbling, whilst then being encouraged and guided to look beyond the guidelines and discover their own flavour, their own personality expressed via the art form to make room for innovation. Amanda fell in love with how the art is a visually stimulating and mindful practice in itself, which is why she felt called to share it with the world.

The focus of the workshops are as versatile prints for any end use one may imagine, whilst Amanda specialises in applying the art onto fabric and exploring the design opportunities this provides - the creativity doesn’t have to end in the studio, the marbling may be a great starting point to further design development and exploration!
