In this series of three workshops, join artist Mariana del Castillo in creating bespoke wearable art. There is an intimacy conveyed with each piece of jewellery you choose to wear, however, there can be multiple meanings beyond aesthetics. Participants will explore a variety of materials creating delicate and detailed constructions. These tactile creations use personal metaphors to tell stories and allude to the passage of time.
In session one, Paper Worn, participants will explore a variety of heavy-weight papers, paper beads, metal attachments, drafting film, repurposed text, sumi and indigo ink.
In session two, Leather Worn, participants will explore a variety of cobbler remnants, stitches, vintage leather, tin and eyeglass lenses.
In session three, Eco Worn, participants will explore a variety of threads, stencilling, stitches, natural materials and hand dyed eco fabrics created by the artist for the workshop.
Do one or all three!
