2023 Sculptural Coiling with Delightful Distortions
Location
Canberra Spinners and Weavers
About
With Fiona Hammond. Explore coiling techniques - using plain core cord and colourful yarn - to create coiled forms containing voids, distortions and pleasingly organic shapes.
Plastic foam-covered wire will also be explored as a core material to introduce more malleable shapes. Incorporate items such as natural materials, beads, art yarn, fabric, buttons, or other treasures into your work if desired. Use of colour is made possible by working with various colourful yarns – tapestry wool and/or acrylic yarn. The workshop will
allow participants to experiment with coiling to create their own distinctive coiled form. It may or may not result in a functional item but it will certainly be eye catching!
Run over two sessions, 5 and 19 November, 9:30am-4pm.
There are two options for the materials fee for this workshop or you can bring all
the required items from home, or bring what you have and purchase some items from the tutor during the workshop. Additional $8 fee for workbook.
