Discover a fresh approach to textile making in this hands-on workshop that pushes the boundaries of weaving. Using yarn, wire, and locally foraged fibres, you’ll learn how to create dynamic, three-dimensional sculptural forms.

Claudia Bloxsome is a contemporary fibre artist whose practice explores the transformation of woven textiles into sculptural forms, drawing on themes of time, care, and materiality.

Guided by techniques developed during a recent Mornington Peninsula artist residency, Claudia will show you how to build self-supporting, hollow, and layered structures. Through playful experimentation and rapid making, you’ll explore new ways of thinking about fibre, form, and structure.

Open to beginners and experienced makers alike, this workshop is designed to inspire new ways of thinking and making through hands-on exploration.

Claudia Bloxsome

Claudia Bloxsome’s practice is grounded in the transformative potential of weaving, a lifelong pursuit she approaches as both discipline and calling. Through the meticulous manipulation of fibres, she explores time, care, and materiality, often incorporating metal and timber to extend woven cloth into sculptural forms that draw on both the history of weaving and contemporary art.

Her process is labour-intensive and experimental, embracing irregularities that reveal the hand of the maker. Informed by personal experience, she approaches weaving as a space for introspection, creating works that offer quiet moments of visual respite through rhythm, colour, and texture.
