WHEN TWO CULTURES MEET, TEXTILE ARTS DISRUPT THE NORMS
A fully-guided tour with Helen Godden, an Extreme Free-Motion-Machine Quilter, as your tutor and Jacky Wyatt from Wacky Jacky’s Textiles as your host.
Wacky Jacky's is delighted to announce that we are bringing back to you our "Helen Godden Retreat" due to popular demand. Helen Godden has received multiple international and national quilting awards for her innovative quilts.
She is also the Handi Quilter Ambassador for the Sweet Sixteen quilting machines, as well as the Capri and Amara Stationary machines more recently.
This is a unique opportunity to experience the fusion of two artistic powerhouses from two worlds apart. We have combined the amazing talents of the multiple international award-winning Helen Godden with one of Bali’s most famous batik artist instructors, Nyoman Warta, to take you on inspirational journey where you will discover new techniques and learn valuable insights from the industry’s best.
Your experience will begin with Helen taking you on a cultural photographic expedition to stir up your creative juices and guide you through the process of how to apply your inspiration to your project.
Helen will combine her talents in visual arts and free-motion quilting with the traditional art of Balinese tjanting from Nyoman to teach you a truly unique art form that few have ever seen.

Please be aware that the first day of your retreat and the last day of your retreat are travel days. For example, this retreat starts on 8 to 19 July 2024, which means 8 July is the day you fly in, and 19 July is the day you fly out.
Please aim to land in Bali early afternoon on your first day, and exit Bali in the early evening / late night on the last day.
If your flight is out of these times, an AUD$45 (per car) transfer fee is applicable.
If you wish to fly in earlier we will pick you up from the airport on your arrival and bring you to the hotel in Candidasa (and book extra nights for you – at your cost). This service is an additional AUD$45 per car. We can also pick you up on the first day from a hotel that you have booked yourself (within Kuta, Legian, or Sanur within the above times) – as we will be on the way to the airport, and can stop in and pick you up.
Once you know your flight times, let me know and we can work from there.
