Is there a place along Middleton Bay that holds a special place in your heart?

A team of researchers at UWA are seeking local Albany residents (aged 18+) who reside near, or regularly visit, Middleton Bay (Binalup / Middleton Beach to Emu Point) to tell us about your coast through textile creation, paper collage, poetry, or photography for a research study.  

Workshops of 2.5 to 3 hours will be running at local venues. No previous experience is required, with friendly professional guidance provided by local professional practitioners – Verity Byth, Bev Doig, Reneé Pettitt-Schipp or Nev Clarke. Art materials and light refreshments will be provided. There are no costs for the workshops. Registration is essential.
