About the class

Explore the craft of free-form weaving with rattan in this one-day workshop with artist Fiona Gavino. Through hands-on making, you’ll learn simple weaving techniques while experimenting with shaping and weaving rattan into organic forms.

Working with natural materials provided on the day, you’ll create a unique sculptural or functional piece and gain skills you can continue to explore at home. Suitable for beginners and those curious about working with natural fibres.

Students must wear appropriate clothing, closed-toe shoes and tie up long hair

What to bring
