Michelle Snowdon is a fibre artist with a BA(Visual Arts) and is completing her Masters of Art Therapy at WSU during 2022.

​Over the last 15 years Michelle has taught creative hand-spinning, dyeing and fibre art workshops around Australia and the USA. 

Material Connections

In this immersive workshop we will frame the week through deepening our relationship to our own creative practice.
We shall take inspiration from place through observing texture, line, pattern, and quality of light, and translate these with brief thread and dye sketches. Technique methods will be demonstrated each morning.

We will then explore our sketches further to create dimensional forms utilising basic intertwining methods. These may include weaving, spinning, stitching, knit and crochet. We will lean into the process and push our own personal creative edges.

A story in cloth unfolds. An opportunity to reflect upon our process and creations will close our session each day. 

Bring a playful curiosity for material use. No prior experience in hand-spinning is necessary. We shall learn basic spinning on a drop spindle for one morning session. The small amount of yarn created can become a creative focal feature in your cloth – we are not concentrating on creating yardage or traditional spinning in this workshop, instead an artful approach to all materiality is explored.

All techniques are open to your own artistic interpretation!
