And that’s a wrap… The last in a trio of weaving workshops for the INFUSE program. Thanks to all those who spent Saturday afternoons slow stitching, coiling, and creating. It was a pleasure to hold space, as you made spaces for yourselves. A coaster space for your favourite cup, a small trinket dish to hold your treasures, a space to catch your attention…

Colourful creations emerging from today’s “Holding Space” workshop - the first of three for ’ Infuse program. Attendees learned the basics of coiled weaving, working in long and short stitch. Each piece as unique as its maker. A lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon, acquiring skills that can last a lifetime.

This year I decided to move beyond running workshops, and started facilitating a monthly social weaving session on the last weekend of the month. Show and tell at these monthly gatherings is the best! As a creative facilitator, it brings me such joy to see others falling in love with coiled weaving just as I did many moons ago. Everyone has their own way of transforming the materials. I’m loving this mini but mighty creative community.

Tonight’s Making Space ~ Space Making session was a delight, the theme being respect, recognition and reverence of the more than human world. Up-cycling sardine tins/lids, old magazines, and fabric scraps, transforming the everyday into something beautiful. Taking inspiration from other women artists along the way…

For as long as people have needed to carry things, they've made baskets. Today we might be carrying other kinds of burdens, maybe we need a basket to hold the too-hard things.

Busy hands = calm mind.
Slow down. Go analog. Learn to weave.

An opportunity to connect with others through mindful craft and to come back to centre in yourself.

In this workshop, you'll learn the beginner basics of coiling technique in figure 8 stitch. Create a small trinket dish or bowl with a waveform design.

For the first Making Space ~ Space Making gathering of 2026 we explored the upcoming turning of the lunar new year with the intention to welcome the fire horse 🔥 🐴. Participants were invited to choose from a diverse array of materials on offer and transform these into a unique symbolic representation, guardians to watch over them in the year ahead. Don’t miss the next nature/based expressive arts circle, we gather on the second Wednesday of each month.
