Workshop Creating Sculptural Vessels Using Looping

Come and learn the versatile technique of looping with Sydney artist Asahi So. 

Looping is an ancient textile technique that predates both crochet and knitting and has been used by cultures around the globe in making items from fishing nets to string bags. In the workshop, Asahi will show you how to use this versatile technique to create your own simple sculptural vessel.

The workshop will include a demonstration on how to use looping to create a multitude of different forms, and an explanation of the different kinds of materials which can be used when employing this technique.

About your teaching artist

Asahi So is an emerging Sydney-based ceramic artist. After a ten-year floristry career, he began to question the often-throwaway nature of working with fresh plant material and turned his attention to creating work using more lasting media. Combining ceramic and looped wire elements, he creates unique vessels and sculptural forms that capture and hold space differently to the solid ceramic form.
