June 17-21 (no class on June 19), 2024, 9-1pm : Sculptural Storytelling

Castle Hill, Truro, MA

This workshop will introduce participants to basic basket weaving technique and their endless sculptural possibilities. You’ll learn multiple ways of starting a piece, variations of the basic weaving technique and how to integrate solid objects. To help us think outside the traditional basket form, we’ll approach this workshop from the perspective of a story teller, in which you will weave multiple components to be integrated into a sculpture that tells a story. You’ll build, destroy, unravel, reweave, glue, drill, hammer, cut, tape and do whatever needs to be done to problem-solve your own way to success. We’ll be working mainly with fiber rush, papers and whatever you like to bring with you. The emphasis in this workshop is on play and using these sculptural approaches from the perspective of a tinkerer, willing to take risks with materials and the outcome of the work.
