Learn how to use the natural plant fibre of flax to create a bird from your imagination or using an image to inspire you!

We will start by making a simple framework of wire and slowly “flesh out” surfaces using the basketry technique known as interlacing or random weaving.

Jodie will provide a demonstration showing how to collect, split, dry and rehydrate flax in preparation for weaving.

All tools and materials are included in the cost, but please bring small pliers and scissors if you have them.

Suitable for both adults and teenagers.

Jodie Goldring is a notorious gleaner, an Artist and Teacher who has a broad range of creative experiences to share. She joined the Basket makers of Victoria in 2005 when she learned skills and techniques that she explores in the creation of sculptural artworks.
