Stitched Basket Workshop

Nicole de Mestre creates an eclectic range of artistic works, all inspired by environmental concerns and linked through the use of recycled materials and found objects. Join her for a three hour workshop, to discover the art of stitched baskets. Usually constructed from natural materials, instead you will create a small basket from recycled and found materials-wire, rope, fabric, flyscreen, whipper snipper cord, security fencing, fruit nets-waste all destined for landfill.

Materials: Supplied, but bring along a bag of your own if you feel inclined. Also scissors and large sewing needles will be useful.

Some dexterity is required for hand-sewing.Ages: 13+

Bring yourself and some creativity. Everything else is supplied, including morning tea or coffee.
