Weaving Together

Weaving Together is a shared workshop hosted by creative artist Dr Sarah Jane Moore and scientist Luke Steller. Sarah Jane will join us from her home studio in Tasmania and weave with nature based materials whilst Luke with join from UNSW and bring his own materials harvested from fieldwork and beyond. Moving away from the original mindset of weaving just to make a finished product, here in this workshop you can sit with Sarah Jane and Luke to learn how the process of weaving can un-weave capitalist / self-centered / goal oriented learnings that we have all picked up in our lives.

Bring foraged materials, wool, plastic, tape, string and your imaginations to join together and weave for well being, weave for inclusion and weave together in a friendly, safe and community minded digital space where sharing is key.

Dr Sarah Jane Moore is an independent creative artist who lives in Tasmania. She is an Adjunct Associate Lecturer within the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences at UNSW. In 2019, she was the ANAT on Country Synapse resident artist and this program enabled her to develop a deep and listening relationship with the Baludarri (Sydney Rock Oyster).

Luke Steller is a PhD student the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences at UNSW, studying astrobiology (i.e. in what environment did life form on Earth). When not exploring ancient fossil sites in the field, he spends most of his time sitting in nature, listening, and occasionally weaving.
