A not-to-be-missed takeover of the Abbotsford Convent gallery spaces, Weave It!—a brand new installation that is free, hands-on, and gets everyone involved in craft activities—created by renowned multidisciplinary textile artists Lisa Waup (Gunditjmara and Torres Strait Islander) and John Brooks. Inspired by the work of Lisa and John, Convent Kids of all ages and their families, will weave a wonderland out of bright, fun and colourful textiles made from recycled and found materials. Get creating and run wild when you and your child learn to make DIY string, tassels, looms and embellishments. Help reimagine this exhibition by adding your own creations to the space while gaining insights on recycling, material ethics, DIY culture and collaboration. Cost: Free!
