Crochet a Small Relief Sculpture - Learn crochet skills in a relaxed studio setting. All materials are supplied. Afternoon tea provided. Bookings are essential. Cost- free!
Karryn's current projects include Body of Work and Holding On Until You Cure. Body of Work involves artworks that incorporate recycled wearable items. Techniques like coiling, padding, crocheting, twining, and sewing are explored to make forms reminiscent of bodily shapes in space. Holding On Until You Cure delves into themes of vulnerability and loss. Karryn creates plaster works and tenderly holds them until they set, symbolically embracing the process of healing.
Both of these projects are an exploration into the physicality of sculpture and the interconnectedness of bodies, space and objects.
