Weave a Natural Wall Hanging with Lou Nade
Monday 12 January from 10am to 4pm
In this relaxed one day workshop, you’ll gather inspiration from the natural world and use Mother Nature’s gifts of leaves, twigs, bark, pods, feathers and fibres, combined with found and reclaimed materials to create a beautiful, one-of-a-kind wall hanging.
During the workshop, Lou will guide you through different weaving techniques as you explore ideas and work in harmony with nature – letting organic shapes, textures and colours guide the construction of your piece. This hands-on process is not only creative, but also a wonderfully mindful practice – as you slow down and observe up close, the beauty of nature’s materials.
No experience is necessary, only a willingness to play, explore, let go and enjoy the process. You’ll leave with a unique artwork to take home, woven with nature’s treasures and a renewed connection to both the environment and your own creativity.
All materials are supplied, including enough to take home and continue your work. Feel free to bring along anything from your own garden to include in your work.
Due to the nature of sourcing reclaimed materials, components and resources for the workshops may vary to the images shown.
