The method of making a ‘bush toy’ is an indigenous art form which is championed by the Tjanpi Weavers of the Central desert.
Create a colourful, sculptural animal using hay wrapped with wool. The simplicity of hand building with hay requires no tools and great results can be achieved with just a sense of fun and imagination.
In this workshop you will be guided in:
- Creating a base form with hay appropriate to your chosen animal
- Dividing the hay into the main features
- Techniques in wrapping with wool
- Finishing the details of your animal
The method of making a ‘bush toy’ is an indigenous art form which is championed by the Tjanpi Weavers of the Central desert. I learnt this artform from Gunditjmara master weaver Bronwyn Razem, who has given me permission to teach and share the knowledge of making bush animals.
All materials will be provided
