Wild Textile & Ceramic Workshop with Libby Rose & Joseph Boas

Next date: Saturday, 25 July 2026 | 01:15 PM to 03:45 PM

Join Libby and Joe for a generous hands on skill sharing workshop unpacking the creative discoveries, processes, and developments that have emerged throughout their residency at Sauerbier House.

In this workshop, participants will create a Japanese-style knot bag and a Wabi Sabi inspired wild clay vase. The Japanese style bag will incorporate Libby’s eco printed textiles developed during the residency, featuring sheoak, casuarina, and bark gathered from the surrounding forest. Participants will be provided with beautiful piece of cut fabric from which to sew the bag. Some machine sewing experience may be helpful.

To create the vase, Joseph will provide wild clays and guide participants to learn hand rolled clay techniques and the use of botanical textures.

The workshop will also include afternoon refreshments and informal discussion with Libby and Joe about their individual practices, collaborative processes, and the work developed throughout the residency and exhibition. Both Joseph and Libby share a deep love for working alongside nature, to continually explore the textures, marks, and stories held within natural materials.
