Hello,

I wonder if you have any trips to the Tweed Heads /Nthn NSW area planned this year?
Anita - Stdio Faro commented on 20-Apr-2018 09:26 AM
Hi Michelle, thanks for dropping by. I'd love to organise a trip to your area. All I need is enough schools interested to put together at least three days of incursions or teacher training. If you know of other teachers and schools in the area that are interested then we could get together and work something out. My email enquiries@studiofaro.com

Dear Anita
Do you have a contact in South Africa or will you ever visit South Africa. Will you be interested in a training facililty here. If you train teachers how many would you like to have in a training session?

Hi Elna, thanks for getting in touch. I don't have any contacts in South Africa but I would be interested to travel for workshops. What do you have in mind? You can send more detail direct to my email address: enquiries@studiofaro.com Speak soon, Anita.

Hi Anita,
We are a new school in Sydney and only have 4 students currently for HSC Textiles this coming 2020/21 year. I am interested in a workshop for them, however, there is only 4! Are there other options?
Thanks!
Anita - Studiofaro commented on 05-Oct-2020 05:34 PM
Hi Jacki, thanks for dropping by. I'm not located in Sydney anymore, but about half and hour out of Wagga, in Coolamon. For four students it would be difficult to arrange any face to face training, however I will be building some online teaching materials next year. And if your students are willing to travel I will be running some basic fashion design, Illustration and pattern making classes in the April school holidays in 2021. Do you think Coolamon is too far for them to travel for a few days training? Anita
