Creative Women's Circle invitation for April 2009

Good news! After taking a break recently, Melbourne's Creative Women's Circle will be riding again! The group was originally formed by Dearne Herrenberg - designer of the gorgeous Mainichi jewellery range. (We interviewed Dearne back in November. If you missed it, make sure to take a look - the pics are stunning!) Tess McCabe has recently taken over the reins, and has organised the Creative Women's Circle to meet this Saturday, 4.4.2009 at the Guildford Lane Gallery from 10am - 12pm.

Tess is a graphic designer from Melbourne, and also one half of metremade pattern designs (which we also posted about way back in August 2007). Tess collaborates with textile designer Liz Roger to experiment with patterns and design without client briefs - sounds good, doesn't it?!

Speaking at the Creative Women's Circle will be fellow Australian blogger Lucy Feagins from TheDesignFiles. By day, Lucy is a props buyer and set dresser in the film industry, and TheDesignFiles is her outlet for all things creative from Melbourne and beyond. I really enjoy following Lucy's blog - she's done some fantastic interviews... a couple of my recent favourites have been with Elke Kramer and Beci Orpin. In addition to giving an insight about her work, Lucy will speak about how creating and maintaining a blog has helped her professional and inspired her creativity, and will answer questions about how creative people can better promote themselves and raise their profiles as artists online.
