Join basketweaver Emily Chilvers for an evening of sculptural weaving and learn how to make a small intricate basket using the coiling method, an ancient weaving technique.
Overview
Emily will introduce you to the coiled basket making method, an ancient weaving technique sometimes known as the ‘foragers basket’. You will create rhythmical coiled forms by incorporating natural, man-made and recycled materials. Drawing inspiration from our current exhibition Anthony Caro: The Inspiration of Architecture, you will also expand upon the sculptural quality of the technique by using precut shapes to explore elements of structure and space.
Please note
You will be able to take materials away with you to continue weaving at home.
Your ticket includes a glass of wine and free access to the Manor and the exhibition Anthony Caro: The Inspiration of Architecture in the Gallery from 5pm.
Limited Members tickets available. Please contact membership@pitzhanger.org.uk to request a discount code to use at the checkout.
