Weaving a Shroud Carrier - a weekend immersion into shrouding Castlemaine. Join us in Castlemaine for a weekend immersion into the art of shrouding, where we will collectively weave a shroud carrier from invasive Cats Claw vine.

All materials and morning teas are provided; bring your own lunch, your questions, and your personal experiences. Sat 10 Oct, 9:30am – 4pm & Sun 11 Oct, 10am-3.30pm. Venue tbc, Castlemaine. $380/ $730 if booking for 2 people. Book HERE
The Australian Hearse Nationals hearse parade is happening this Sunday 2 August for the Goldfields Gothic: Festival of Dark Ideas! Stand on the Main Street at 10.30am, and cheer us on! We'll be leaving from the Machinery Shed Museum for a couple of laps around town. The hearses will then park in the grass area just above the Machinery Shed for perusal and chats. I'll have either a shrouded body in a carrier in the back, or my hand woven coffin, I haven't decided yet... Come and vote for your favourite hearse - The Death Star! We recently starred in the LOCALS film made by Liz Geddes at Castlemaine Documentary Festival. I've entered in two categories - Best Hearse Post 1980 & Best Display
