Searching for sustainable Sydney activities that will unleash your inner artist? Join sculptor Cherry Corr for a fun and relaxing weaving class learning how to twist and form your own random weaving sculpture using only garden waste and natural materials.
That's right - the materials for this class are entirely collected from plants in the area! You'll be using just a few simple tools, some easy to learn techniques - plus a little clever engineering - to create functional, sculptural forms celebrating the natural beauty of plants.
What you will learn in the class:
  • A brief history of random weaving and how it differs from other basketry techniques
  • An understanding of the structural and decorative elements of random weave
  • What plants to use
  • How to create your own random weave vessel to take home
You'll finish this class with an entirely unique weave sculpture and the skills to make more at home using only natural materials sourced from nature. Weaving is also a super meditative craft and you'll reap the mindful benefits of practising this craft for a few blissful hours. All students must be over 18+ years of age.
