Weaving The Line

27th June 2025 - 29th June 2025

Facilitator: Gizella Warburton

During this three day workshop participants will be working towards developing simple three-dimensional vessel forms and woven structures. Participants will be encouraged to consider ‘drawing’ with different materials, and to explore linear and spatial relationships by introducing content and detail with fibre and yarns. We will also work with collage, layering and weaving processes in relation to two- and three- dimensional compositions.

Event time: 27th June 2025 4:00pm - 29th June 2025 4:00pm

More about Weaving The Line

The sessions will offer possibilities for all levels with opportunities for individual exploration, alongside supportive mentoring and shared inspiration. Activities are designed to encourage participants to notice detail, challenge usual approaches, and be aware of their creative responses; developing the confidence to take risks with their ideas and nurture their own artistic voice.

Practical Information

Arrivals from 4pm with the first group activity being dinner at 6:30pm. Materials are included. Optional studio time is available in the evenings without the tutor. The course will finish on the final day with tea and cake at 4pm.

'I am drawn to materials which suggest a fragile balance; strength and legacy, yet susceptibility to wear and tear...'
