Workshop 3 - Sewing Techniques
Workshop 2nd & 3rd
June
This workshop will introduce
participants to the techniques that Aboubakar uses extensively in his own
work. Using lengths of Malian hand spun
and hand-woven organic cotton, participants will stitch together either a shawl
or an envelope pillowcase. They will
then learn how to finish the edges and make either fringes or tassels depending
on which project they choose to undertake.
Both projects are entirely hand sewn, so although you do not need any
experience you will need patience and perseverance. The fabric used will be 8 metres of organic
Malian cotton, which Aboubakar will bring with him from Mali. Needles and
thread will be provided.
These
workshops will take place at the studio of textile artist Jude Craig – in Upwey
at the foot of the Dandenong Ranges.
This
workshop costs $550.
