2 Day | Saturday 13 – Sunday 14 March 2027
BRAIDED RAG BAGS – SOLD OUT! if you would like to go on the waiting list please add your email below and click 'ADD TO WAITING LIST' A beautiful use for your saved samples, worn clothes or fabric stash. This spiral braiding technique weaves in as it grows, so no sewing is required. Braid your own ‘rags’ to carry what’s precious. All rags are welcome, but eco-dyed scraps or cloth in the colours of beautiful Gariwerd are especially encouraged. All levels |
4 Day | Monday 15 – Thursday 18 March 2027
CLOTH VESSELS 3 WAYS – SOLD OUT! if you would like to go on the waiting list please add your email below and click 'ADD TO WAITING LIST' Explore looping, coiling and braiding techniques to create vessels from fabric scraps. These methods lend themselves to sculptural outcomes and a plethora of designs and forms begin to suggest themselves the more broadly we think! Consider Gariwerd’s colours as you pack your palette of cloth scraps. We can then play with 3D shape, tone, texture and contrast in response to our beautiful location. All levels |
