About the Event
We will start the day with a small ritual to imbue our intent into our work. We will ask the materials to work with us and visualise the piece we are about to make, whether that be sacred or practical.
The day will be guided by Lisa who will teach us a skill called soft basketry. Once you have learnt the cordage technique you can transfer this skill to endless materials and not just the fabric we will be working with. You can use materials such as grass, leaves, rush, cordyline, nettle or bramble. Once you have made the string the possibilities are endless, you could even knit or crochet with it. You will by the end of the day have made a piece for you to take home and work with, maybe a matt or pouch for sacred items, or a glasses case, that choice will be yours.
