We will complete the artistic alphabet with through weaving with xuan paper and yarn, and taking inspiration from artist Zhu Jinshi. Teaching artist Yaz Gaté will guide you over the course of two hours as you create your own artwork.
Participants will have the option to complete a loom-based weaving using yarn, or experiment with xuan paper – a type of soft, fine textured paper, originating in China – to create a paper-based weaving, or perhaps bring yarn and paper together for a mixed media weaving.
Get to know like-minded people and enjoy light bites and tasty drinks during this relaxed, fun-filled workshop.
