Learn triaxial weaving by creating a colourful paper ornament in this hands-on workshop. Artist Dana Cromie will break down the process into simple steps, exploring how tone and colour interact. All materials provided. Participants will leave with a finished hexagonal piece that will inspire them to explore these construction techniques further. Note: trimming with a ruler and a sharp blade is required; some dexterity is needed. Suitable for ages 14 and up.
