The Odero Technique with Alexandra Marks
By Sue Kirk
-
Old Brewery Studios, West Street, King's Cliffe, Peterborough, UK
A unique opportunity to weave with Alexandra Marks who will be travelling from Italy to teach this incredible contemporary wall piece.
Alexandra practiced the technique of the square centre of the Odero wall piece a long time ago in German fine willow when it was used to start oval bases. Later Alexandra re-discoveredit by learning it as a Ugandan Weaving technique. The technique of the circle wall piece is also from German fine willow work. During the workshop we will use brown willow and Japanese paper band from recycled paper. The diameter of the piece will be roughly 60cm.
