Weave Your Walk - basic loom weaving with Anne Kable

Makers Space

Create a small woven art work that tells a story, using the colours, shapes and textures of our natural environment.

We will start with a gentle walk, on Wiradjuri Country, connecting with nature and gathering inspiration and materials.After returning to the studio, we will use the materials we have gathered, as we learn the basics of loom weaving to create a visual memory of our walk. A simple loom made from cardboard and baker’s twine, is all it takes to make a small wall hanging. Once learnt, these simple techniques can be used to weave other materials and make a variety of items. Our walk will either be at the Dunedoo Woodland Learning Centre or the Talbragar Riverside Trail, in Dunedoo. Location details will be confirmed the day before the workshop, with the choice determined by weather and conditions. Both walks are short and gentle, requiring only moderate fitness and mobility. <h3>We will provide . . .</h3>all the materials you need to make and use a small cardboard loomstep by step guidance on basic weaving techniquesa handout explaining weaving tools and terminologytea and coffee<h3>You will need . . .</h3>comfortable walking shoes and suitable clothing for bush walkinga hat and sunscreen if the weather is warm a water bottlea large and light carry bag to gather and carry your materials inlunch for yourself, or bring something to shareThanks for the inspiration, from artist Blake Griffiths, for this workshop.<a href="https://togetherinart.org/how-to-weave-your-walk-with-blake-griffiths/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">How to weave your walk with Blake Griffiths – Together In Art</a>
