Learn how to make a small versatile brush using wood and fibres sourced from local surrounds with craftsperson Gemma Stratton.
Experience the satisfaction of making a small, versatile brush in this 2-hour workshop. Using natural wood and locally sourced fibres, you’ll learn handwork techniques to create a practical tool. Begin by crafting fine tī kōuka cord with a European twining method, then move on to fibre preparation, hole drilling, and a lashing technique to assemble your brush. Working on something small in size requires care and focus, inviting you to slow down and connect with natural materials. These functional brushes are perfect for a variety of tasks, from oiling pans to children’s water painting.
