NGV Kids on Tour- Making Pompoms Dimboola

Sophie Honess is a Gomeroi Yinarr artist based in Tamworth, New South Wales. Her works are inspired by her immediate environment, finding and exploring hidden beauty on Gomeroi country through colour and texture. Sophie creates textile works that celebrate the natural beauty of grasses, creek beds, grains of sand, and bush plants like wattle and eucalyptus flowers found on Country. Designed especially for teens, this making activity invites participants to be inspired by the natural world around them. Create a bush flower pompom using yarn, embroidery thread and colourful felts to then tag to your school bag, key chain or anything else!

Session suitable for ages 12+ years.
