Stitching Stories with Local Artist Eleesa Howard

On Wednesday 29 July, our Year 11 Visual Art students had the exciting opportunity to work alongside Mornington Peninsula artist Eleesa Howard, exploring the creative possibilities of embroidery, soft sculpture, and contemporary fibre arts.

During the workshop, students moved beyond traditional drawing and painting, experimenting with stitching, fabric, and texture to create expressive artworks.

Students were praised for their enthusiasm and willingness to embrace new challenges. Eleesa was so impressed by how our students jumped straight into the stitching and really thought about what they were making. She said it was lovely to see the different directions they each took, the outcomes were all so unique.
