About the Facilitator
Allanah Sarafian is a predominantly textile artist known for her playful and tactile works created through tufting. Her art has been exhibited at venues including Bundoora Homestead Art Centre, and her background spans visual art education, costume design, and puppetry performance—including starring as Chilli in Bluey’s Big Play (as seen on ABC iView).
Ten years ago, Allanah spotted a discarded chandelier on the side of the road. She took it home, carefully dismantled it and has been using its glass prisms in her work ever since. That moment sparked a lifelong love for found objects and upcycling—core themes that continue to shape her practice today. Allanah’s workshops are an extension of that ethos: joyful, imaginative spaces where creativity and sustainability go hand-in-hand.
