Sculptural Random Weaving Workshop

Join sculptor and fibre artist for a fun, hands-on Sculptural Random Weaving Workshop, where you’ll learn to twist and shape your own random weave creations using natural and garden-foraged materials.

All materials for this class are sustainably collected from local plants, including palm inflorescence from the Bangalow Palm and Cocos Palm, along with other common garden waste. Using just a few simple tools, easy-to-learn techniques, and a touch of clever engineering, you’ll create sculptural, functional forms that celebrate the beauty of nature.

This relaxing and rewarding course is perfect for anyone wanting to reconnect with natural materials, explore a meditative handcraft, or learn a sustainable artform rooted in tradition.

By the end of this random weaving course, you should be able to:

• Explain the history of random weaving and how it differs from other basketry techniques

• Identify structural and decorative elements in random weave

• Forage and select suitable plant materials for weaving

• Create your own random weave vessel to take home
