Workshop
For this site-specific installation created for TOAST, Kat Howard was inspired by how we physically carry pain and how the turbulent interior of the self can come to emulate a tempest. Using recycled textiles from TOAST, she thematically links how we are formed and shaped by our past experiences
Alongside the display, she will be hosting a Learn to Weave Intuitively workshop where you will be guided through the process of hand-weaving with waste yarns and fibres. The workshop will explore texture, technique, and creativity while practising the basic skills of tapestry weaving on a frame loom.
Materials will be provided but you are welcome to bring any fabrics of your own to include in your weaving.
This event also has an exhibition page check here: Exhibition: September 2nd - 29th
Established in 1997 in Wales, TOAST began with nightwear and loungewear, inspired by nature and the surrounding landscape. The collections were designed with a relaxed sense of ease and made with quality materials in long lasting silhouettes.
Today, our approach remains true to our beginnings – creating simple, modern and functional pieces intended to last for years to come.
Our clothing, homeware and accessories are produced in collaboration with artisans, weavers, and mills from across the globe. We work together to support local communities, preserving craftsmanship and traditional techniques.
Tickets cost $45.
