Pollen Tribe presents:
WEAVING PLANT FIBRES
with Rosemary Riedel O'Brien
Join Rose for an introductory Weaving workshop creating with ethically sourced plant fibres and ancestral hand craft techniques. Using a simple card board Loom you will learn to create your own plant inspired cloth, aiming to create a textile that celebrates the wonders of natural fibres. We will explore the ritual of craft, the vital lessons of slow making and the beauty inherent in coming together to create. There will be space to expand your creative expression, learn skills that you can later develop and connect to the elements that surround us, paying homage to their life-giving nature.
