Introducing the tutor, Mavis Paskulich: Mavis was born in Nottingham England in the mid 1940’s moving to Perth Australia in 1969.  For the last 20 years she has lived within the Kalamunda shire.  On retirement she became involved with the Kalamunda Learning Centre, both as a participant (silk painting) and tutor (art group).
“Exploration and experimentation describe my approach. I paint with watercolours, paint on silk, create with fibres and textiles and paint digitally.”
Mavis now helps facilitate the ‘Exploring Fibre Art’ workshops for experienced fibre artists and in term 4 of 2025 is offering two short beginner courses for those interested in learning fibre art skills.
