Sculptural Weaving Workshop

Allowing our materials to guide the shape and direction an art piece takes invites the imagination to evolve as the work develops

Date
Tap in to your creative side in an afternoon to stimulate the imagination whilst playing with sticks to make a sculptural artwork.
In this workshop the shape of a collection of sticks or a small branch is used as a frame, to which sections can be 'twined' to emphasise the natural shape inherent in the sticks to create a sculpture.  'Twining' is a basket weaving method using a pair of fibres to weave around a frame. We will explore how to use this method to hold the sticks together in a three dimensional form, filling in areas or weaving to create space within the form. 

Tuition will include:
Instruction in the twining method
Guidance in creating a sculptural form and choice of materials

An abundance of materials will be available to play with: sticks, vines, prepared plant fibres for twining, as well as colourful threads, strings and fabrics
​Saturday 11th Nov 10am to 3pm
at the Lightbox Torquay, 2/7-9 Cylinders Drive, Torquay
