Over, Under, and Through: Experimental Metal Weaving
This workshop will explore the possibilities of using weaving and basketry techniques with metal materials. Using copper, nickel, steel, and silver, we’ll create a series of small woven samples culminating in final projects that will take the form of objects, adornment, or a mixture of both. We’ll have daily demonstrations as well as discussions of the historical and cultural contexts of the different techniques. Most importantly, this workshop will include plenty of time for experimentation. You’ll be encouraged to play! All levels. Lower metals studio.
