One of three inter-active workshops focusing on heritage textile crafting skills.
WORKSHOP 1: Macrame, Tatting and Lacemaking (knotting)
TUTOR: Alison Baxter
As tutors, we bring our knowledge and practice of macrame and tatting, patchworking, and embroidery stitching to these hands-on workshop activities. In this way we all share, learn and celebrate intergenerational relationships. Tutors will discuss the cultural significance of preserving and developing these textile skills and techniques and will share the story of how they learnt these crafts from their elders. Participants will be invited to share a skill they learned from their elders with the group. Our shared discussion is the starting point for making work, with plenty of time to try out techniques demonstrated by the lead tutor, and develop and practice the familiar or new techniques explored during the session.
