Join me for a fun day exploring a range of natural plant fibres and how we can use fibre to create contemporary art objects and sculpture. This will be a hands on experience looking at new possibilities with plant fibres and how traditional techniques can be used to weave, manipulate and sculpt. You will leave with a hand-crafted piece of your own work. You'll learn about a wide range of plant fibers and learn about sustainable harvesting, preparation, storage and use. There will be a show and tell of woven contemporary art pieces, and you will learn about the construction process, technique, finishes and how to mount and display your art. We will examine simple weaving techniques, focusing on practice and development. The second part of the workshop will be spent making your own sculptures, using natural fibers and weaving skills. This workshop is open for everyone, whether you have no weaving skills or are a master weaver, there is something new to learn. All materials will be supplied. You'll take home self-made woven sculptures, along with an enhanced understanding and application of new weaving techniques.
