Teaching:

“Sculptural Weaving”

Course Description: This course teaches various three-dimensional weaving techniques to be applied towards sculptural purposes. Based on weaving traditions that go back thousands of years, students learn the fundamentals of basic basket weaving techniques: twining, plaiting, random weave, and coiling. Through the use of traditional and non-traditional materials, students learn to use these techniques as a springboard to adapt, integrate, and explore their own sculptural interests and material choices. Every technique being taught is complemented by slide lectures and discussions examining the adaptations and significance of weaves in contemporary and traditional cultures.

“Random Weave” workshop
Massachusetts College of Art

Nov 13 & 14, Saturday /Sunday 10am – 4pm.
Continuing Education, Boston, MA. Random weaving, one of the freest and most flexible of all 3D weaving techniques, allows students to quickly create large, small, dense, or open structures. The weave functions like a 3D drawing tool. Participants explore the ways it can be used to create tension, surface patterns, textures and forms. Using non-traditional and traditional materials, students learn how to start their weave free-form or with cardboard molds to quickly create 3D structures as dense as a beehive or as open as a single line in space.
