Gather, make and hang your own special sensory curtain at a 2-hour workshop!

Join us for to a 2-hour sensory workshop where you will create a small personal curtain featuring a hessian or scrim panel hanging from a found branch. You will stitch, knot and weave with threads and objects, tracing the textures, weights and sensations of what you bring with you inside and outside.   

You will come away with a finished creative piece in addition to a new way of thinking about making  –  using sensation, memory and material as your guide.   

No experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to make!

We will provide: Fabrics, threads, tools, embellishments and accessories 

Please bring with you: A small found object or keepsake (a pebble, dried flower, button, scrap of fabric, something that holds meaning or texture), a small personal picture that holds memory, place, or feeling. You can also bring a twig/flower/leaf/etc. collected on your way to the Workshop (optional).

This activity is part of the RMIT x MCC Circular Campus to Community Project 

RMIT and Merri-Bek City Council (MCC) have a shared vision to build meaningful connections out into industry, community, and academia to support social, economic and environmental opportunities. 

The Circular Campus to Community Project is delivering a series of collaborative and connected circularity-themed programming. Activities will be centred around five streams: Regenerate, Repair, Recycle, Redesign, Rethink – with a focus on textiles creation, repair, and care, through knowledge and skill sharing.
