beci beckons

The last few days we have felt a happy hum at Harvest Workroom as Beci Orpin slowly but gracefully moves herself in to set up her popup shop and open studio – which runs from tomorrow June 22 until July 3 (open 12 - 4pm every day except June 25 & 26 when the studio is open to workshop participants only).
Beci Orpin's Popup Shop
Her gorgeous family are introducing themselves one by one as they accompany her on different drop offs and pick ups…it is something we really relate to here at Harvest having our families so intrinsically involved in what we do…nice to see it playing out with another mum maker. It will be fun having some more munchkins at the studio...more madness! (That is my son rearranging Beci's cushion display but am sure her little one's will also contribute to the visual display over the popup period.)
Obviously we are looking forward to seeing the results of Beci’s open studio where she will move freely within the studio environment for ten days to create new work – she admits to being slightly terrified of the public aspect of the open studio but also excited at what kind of work will eventuate from this fresh approach to her work.

During Beci’s time at the studio she will host a workshop based on her current obsession for hanging mobiles and folk tales. If you would like to immerse yourself in the land of Beci Orpin and the intriguing and colourful world of folktales for a couple of days there are still a few places available.

On Wednesday June 29 Beci will host an open studio night at Harvest Workroom from 6pm-9pm that is open to the general public. This will be more of a work-in-progress rather than a formal exhibition, but there will be new work and some new products on display (and possibly for sale as well). Beci’s husband Raff’s super yummy taco truck will be there too!
