Experimental Weaving and Shadow Play Workshop by Manly Art Gallery & Museum

Artist Leanne Thompson leads a 3-hour single-day workshop on experimental weaving and shadow-play at Manly Art Gallery & Museum on 30 April 2026, from 10:30 to 13:30. Participants explore foraged and harvested materials through techniques from her multi-disciplinary practice, including weaving, assemblage, experimental drawing, and shadow-play. The session discusses themes in her displayed artwork, focusing on cultural, scientific, and intrinsic knowledge in relationships between plants, animals, objects, and substances. All materials are provided, with tea and coffee included; participants should bring their own lunch. This adult workshop is part of the Kandos School of Cultural Adaption’s 'The Art of Adaptation: Culture Changes Everywhere Workshop Series,' emphasizing ecological networks, land practices, and changing culture.
