What you'll do
Come and play in this fun, hands-on mark-making workshop! Discover a freer, more instinctive approach to creative expression using materials gathered straight from the landscape.You’ll craft your own mark-making tools from natural finds—sticks, grasses, seed heads, leaves, and bark—then dip them in ink to see what kind of marks they make.Working with Indian ink and natural pigments, you’ll play with line, texture, rhythm, and gesture, letting each tool’s quirks guide your hand. Loosen up, follow your instincts, and tap into the energy of the natural world around you.No drawing skills required, no “talent” needed—just bring your curiosity! This is all about the joy of making, not the pressure of a perfect result. Whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned maker, it’s a playful, hands-on way to connect with the landscape through touch, movement, and material exploration.All materials included.

Your teacher
Hi! I'm Catriona Pollard, an award-winning fibre artist and international teacher. Over the past decade, I have taught more than 1, 000 students across Australia and internationally, guiding them to transform foraged plant fibres into expressive, organic sculptural works through weaving techniques.My practice is grounded in both making and teaching, with a strong focus on fostering meaningful connections between people and the natural world. Through my workshops, courses, and demonstrations, I empower students to see the creative potential in overlooked natural materials—branches, leaves, and seedpods—while developing their own artistic voice. This teaching philosophy sits at the core of my work: using creativity as a pathway to deepen personal and collective relationships with nature.I deliver sold-out workshops, teach for leading craft and design organisations, and have built a global student community. My teaching reaches a diverse audience, from beginners to experienced makers, across both in-person and digital learning environments.Alongside my teaching, I maintain an active exhibition practice. I have exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions and been recognised as a finalist and award recipient in major art prizes, including the Australian Textile Art Award, International Art Textile Biennale, Environmental Art & Design Award, Australian Fibre Arts Award, and Ravenswood Women’s Art Prize.My work is featured in galleries, high-end design spaces, and private collections nationally, and has been profiled across major media.
