Challenges and Projects

We often run challenges during the course of the year and will be posting photos of our experiments on Instagram.  Anyone can join in - simply:
  • upload your photos to Instagram and add the hashtag in your commentary. 
  • post them in the visitor posts on the WWTAG Facebook page 
  • remember to change the privacy setting to public so that we can see your creations

Recreate - hashtag #wwtagrecreate

A common theme kept recurring when we asked the Wild Women what we should focus on this year ... recycle, repair, reuse, repurpose, renew, RECREATE!   

Leaves - hashtag #wwtagleaves

In keeping with the renewal component of our recreate theme what better natural example is there than leaves?  Whether vibrant new growth, verdant ever-greens, autumnal glory or the crackle of dry fallen leaves underfoot - we want to see your interpretation of leaves. 

Furred, feathered & finned friends - hashtag #wwtagfurfriends

Whether they be companions, workmates, or casual encounters our furred, feathered and finned friends are a constant fascination and source of inspiration.

Jewellery - hashtag #wwtagjewellery

We have all experimented from time to time with jewellery making, whether they be brooches, necklaces, hair clips, rings.  We would like you to open your jewellery box and bring those textile pieces you have made or items you have been gifted or bought at the markets to the meeting to spark a discussion on techniques and to provide inspiration.

Eye to eye - hashtag #wwtageyetoeye

Our first challenge theme for 2022 focuses on the "windows of the soul"  - eyes.  You may want to zoom in on the detail in stitch or paint.  Or perhaps for you the theme suggests seeing people through their masks.   

Colour - hashtag #wwtagcolour

If there is one thing we are wild about, it is colour.  Join us in posting your experimentations in colour.

Image - hashtag #wwtagimage

Time to kick off a new challenge theme .... Image. It could be a textile representation of a photo, or perhaps it is how you see yourself.  It might be a fabric collage, a painted landscape, a thread painting, an experiment in free motion machine embroidery.

Flower - hashtag #wwtagflower

Who doesn't love a flower?  We want to see your textile take on our new challenge theme.
