Twining Workshop - Exploring plant fibres and basketry with Anna Corbett

15th February 2025 - 16 February 2025
Time: 10:00 - 16:00
Cost: £175 Standard rate £155 Low income
Venue: Bolton Village Hall, Northumberland, NE66 2EE

Description

Twining with plant fibres consists of two pieces of material (the ‘weavers’) moving
around and crossing over between, as well as some unmoving elements (stakes, spokes, uprights). If
this were on a loom, they would be the equivalent of the warp (uprights) and weft
(weavers). The weavers move in a spiral around the uprights, and at a certain point, a piece
of magic takes place, and the shape turns from a square into a circle.
A combination of strokes in a specific sequence creates the finished piece. There are many
questions and options to consider: direction of travel, choice of material, how to begin,
what sort of pattern, with or without a handle?
Come and take part in this 2-day workshop and explore your answers to some of these
questions, which will be in our fingers.
