Workshops at Contemporary Applied Arts

Learn from the Best at CAA

Learn a new skill and discover the painstaking hours behind handmade objects with workshops at CAA. Previous workshops have given participants the opportunity to try their hand at weaving on a loom and make floral sculptures from paper clay, creating their own artwork to take home with them.

 

Ceramicist Hanna Salomonsson passed on her close observation of nature to a group of beginner ceramicists who created delicate sculptures from paper clay. Hanna guided the group through the use of a variety of techniques and tools to make their own vessels inspired by flower petals. Pieces were then glazed and fired at her studio, with each participant able to take away their very own piece of ceramic art.

 

Ali Holloway guided participants through her intricate sustainable weaving process, using as a starting point a range of naturally dyed yarns whose colours come from the natural hues of vegetable skins and plant dyes. From trying their hand at her tabletop loom to weaving their own swatch to take home, the group discovered the magic of weaving from natural materials.
