Instructor: Dee Clements
Format: 1-day workshop
Date(s): November 8
Day/Time: Saturday, 10 am-4 pm
This narrative-driven workshop invites participants to weave memory, identity, and emotion into sculptural form. Participants will use expressive weaving and wrapping techniques and guided prompts to create a sculptural vessel, shrine, or wrapped form that embeds or is inspired by a meaningful object, memory, or material. The goal is not to make a functional basket, but rather a personal artifact, a form that holds a story. These can look like a lopsided or abstract basket-like vessel, a wrapped bundle or bound relic form, a woven shrine or altar-like structure, or a fiber-embedded sculpture incorporating a found or meaningful object. The Emphasis is on emotionally responsive form making, not precision. Techniques Covered: Twining, binding, wrapping, lashing, free-form shaping.
Provided Materials: foundational materials are provided, including reed, raffia.
What to bring: Participants are asked to bring 1–3 personal or meaningful items to work with or embed into their piece. These could include fabric, text, objects, or materials that carry memory or personal resonance. A full suggested list will be provided upon registration. Please also bring a bag or box to carry your work and materials home.
