Weaving Together

SWELL Sculpture Festival

Masterclass with Desert Rain Magpie, Skye Shannon Malcolm, Trish Newton, Erica Eurell and Claire Freeman

Paperbark Pavilion - Wallace Nicoll Park

This masterclass will teach you weaving techniques using raffia to create your own basket to take home. Weaving strands together to create something unique is reflective of our own life's journey - weaving brings together creativity, culture, healing and community, this art form is a mirror of diversity and unity, perfection within imperfection, beauty drawn from within. Each participant will learn techniques of coiling, stitching, properties of raffia, cultural connections for First Nations people, mental health and social benefits to engaging in this art form. Weaving Together is a collective group of Australian First Nations Gold Coast weavers that celebrate the beauty and creativity of fibre art. The group first worked together to create Sky Weave - a woven skyscape suspended from the treetops in Burleigh Heads as part of the 2020 Bleach Festival. The weavers draw their inspiration from country, culture, identity and ultimately healing of mind, body &amp; spirit. Weaving is about sharing - with the aim to bring people together to create, grow and learn from one another.
