We are pleased to announce a new series of workshops called Weaving the Weather facilitated by artists Dahlina (Ina) Taueu and Mary Adeosun.
Inspired by a suite of pandanus mats by Yuki Kihara and women from the Moata’a Aualuma Community concurrently on display in the exhibition Tala o le tau (6 June – 30 August), participants will draw on these modes of creative exchange to fashion a woven mat over the course of six weeks. Working collaboratively under the guidance of the friends and facilitators, participants will use natural fibres and recycled materials to develop their weaving techniques as part of a supportive creative community. The finished piece will then be displayed in the gallery, adjacent to the exhibition.
Weaving the Weather is open to participants over the age of 18, all skill levels are welcomed. These workshops are free to attend with all materials provided, registration is required. Workshops are held at Gus Fisher Gallery every Saturday from 10.30am to 12.30pm. Attendance at each session is preferred but not mandatory. Light refreshments will be provided.
