Never one to throw anything away, Sky created a way of turning all her left-over yarn and fabric scraps into arty, crafty rope. A natural evolution of events follower where she started coiling this rope into gorgeous, colourful, decorative baskets. Now it’s your turn!

Learning her rope making technique means you will never throw away a yarn scrap or item of clothing again! The rope doesn’t only have to be made into baskets but can become rugs, jewellery and wall art… the applications are only limited by your imagination.

In this workshop, you will learn how to make the rope and then coil into a basket. All materials and much crafty wisdom provided.

Sky Carter


Sky Carter is a Sydney based free form weaver and colour designer.

Part of the New Craft Movement (a global ‘happening’ where art meets design meets craft) she chooses weaving and tapestry as her vehicle for creative expression, motivated by the textural and sculptural effects that can be achieved.

All her pieces are unique one-offs influenced by global or local trends that Sky observes around her. Her works are also a response to deep internal forces and obsessions (pink and gold!). Sky is also a collector and curator of ‘things’ she loves, organized and harmoniously styled clutter, and has a strong interior design philosophy of layering, layering, layering! Her woven wall art is a natural extension of this.

We’ve teamed up with Australia’s brightest creative minds to share their knowledge and help teach you a new skill. From 3D printing and stencil art through to music and gardening – life skills and personal development through to cooking doughnuts and mushroom foraging, we offer a broad range of fun and creative short courses to suit our time poor lives. We will inspire you to pick up that pen, paintbrush, hammer or sewing machine and flick the switch that will kickstart a whole new way of life.
Community values lie at the heart of our project. We collaborate with local artists and industry experts to teach classes and utilise local suppliers for any materials needed. We also provide a creative environment for emerging artists to produce and sell work, and meet like minded individuals. Work-Shop will be a space for everyone, with a rotating schedule of art shows, information nights on local issues and a whole range of events and community initiatives.
