AGDA Tasmania are presenting a breakfast with Melbourne artist and textile designer Beci Orpin and Hobart-based group Crafternoon.

Beci Orpin is an artist and designer based in Melbourne, Australia. She is well known for her whimsical, intricate creations and feminine dreamscapes. After graduating from BA textile design at RMIT in 1997, Beci went on to work freelance, designing textiles and graphics for a wide range of clients including Burton Snowboards, Built by Wendy, Mercedes Benz, Bloom Cosmetics, Time Warner, Universal Music and Dark Horse comics. This year she is launching a new accessories, homewares and stationary brand under her own name. Beci also frequently creates and exhibits artwork in many different mediums. She has been involved in over 35 shows in galleries in Australia, UK, Japan, Spain and US.

Crafternoon is a group for crafty, artsy and designy types in Hobart. They meet roughly once a month (sometimes more) at varying locations to craft, chat, share, drink tea or sometimes beer, bake and generally be friendly. They’ve been known to have exhibitions, do community work and help out with the ODD + EVEN market.

The Breakie with Beci event will have two parts. Firstly, a breakfast and presentation by Beci. Then in conjunction with the Crafternoon and other special guests, participants can join in on a selection of fun hands-on demo craft workshops and a Q and A with Beci.

The breakfast will be held 10 October 2009 from 10:00am to 12:00pm.

Bookings for the event are strictly pre-sale and allocated on a first-in basis so RSVP now to secure your seat. RSVP by Friday 2nd October by emailing tas@agda.com.au.

It will take place at the Riverview Room, Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, Hobart and will cost $30.00 AGDA members and $40.00 non-members.
