ACT Fibre Basket Makers

During our regular second Saturday of the month meeting we began work on Mangi The Murray Cod Art Project.
Small coiled circular forms will be created from natural fibre material and joined together as patches for Mangi’s skin, contributing to a large-scale collaborative artwork.
Ann McMahon is leading the project from Tuggeranong Arts Centre with workshops but groups can also participate by sending their pieces to Tuggeranong Arts Centre

The ACT Fibre Basket weavers enjoyed sitting in the autumn sun at Wee Jasper Heritage Fair over the weekend. Many were inspired by the wide variety of work on show and there were lots of questions.

There was lots to discussion about all things banana trunk processing with some attempts ( not always successful) to strip and separate.
