About the event
The Denmark Weavers in collaboration with Denmark Arts invite community members to contribute to the making of a rainbow rug at the Artshouse Weaving Studio.
Equality, peace and inclusion are some of the many different meanings for the rainbow symbol that reflect our community arts commitment on the Rainbow Coast. The rug will be for display and for use in community projects and events. Come and explore this slow and ancient art of crafting and try your hand at weaving a colourful rug using recycled fabric.
Weaving and sharing of loom and hand making skills has been ongoing at the studio since 2017 (previous projects under the banner of WOW Weavers of Waste and Waste Not Want Not).
Artists: The Denmark Weavers – Hilary Buckland; Rinske Car; Mary Copping; Jill Faulkner; Jillian Fimmel.
