Creative Fibre Auckland’s Spring Education Festival is being held at the Estuary Arts Centre, Orewa from 6-8 November. I’m tutor for the Dimensional Textiles weaving workshop, a two-day workshop running from Friday 6th to Saturday 7th November. The workshop is an introduction to combining double weave and differential shrinkage to create dimensional cloth.
Skill level: You need to be able to weave on an 8-shaft loom and read a liftplan.
Cost: Members $200, Non-members $235
You will be sent details for dressing your loom after registration.

Created for the Matariki exhibition, We Were Here, at the Pollok Arts & Crafts Co-op in July. I was watching lots of Time Team videos on YouTube at the time of creating this piece and thinking about what future archaeologists will find when they look at what we have left behind; that the signs we were here will probably just be loads of plastic, polluting our land and waterways.

Woven from hand dyed wool and embellished with sequins created from plastics and metals in our household waste.
