Here is a great opportunity to participate in a unique, hands-on session with the artist. Watch Alma at work, hear where her inspiration comes from and try her techniques. Alma Nungarrayi paints for the Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Cooperation, which operates from a small gallery and workshop in the heart of Yuendumu - a township on Aboriginal land 300 dusty kilometres from Alice Springs. Join us it's going to be a great morning.

This programme has limited places, so please book early to avoid disappointment.

Join us for a visit with Mr. Peter Hedger, a well-known local oriental carpet expert, who will discuss Persian carpets and the secrets and history woven into their beauty and elegance. He is a specialist in Iranian carpets and will explain their manufacture and the history behind their designs and materials. Find out about the significance of the number of hand knots per row and how to differentiate between an antique silk master piece and a factory copy. A veteran traveler to Iran, he made his first visits during the time of the last Shah. He has an extensive knowledge of its people and it's culture. Peter still travels regularly to Iran, personally selecting and negotiating every carpet he buys. He is an eloquent speaker and master storyteller who both entertains and educates the listener. Learn about your own Persian carpets or attend your next carpet auction with more confidence and knowledge.
