Have you heard of ikat weaving? The term ikat originates from the Indonesian word for ‘to tie’. It is a textile technique where yarn is resist-dyed to form patterns before being woven into fabric. Let’s draw inspiration from this famous tradition and create unique pieces of art!

In Tidal Weavers: Islands Exchange, Ma Wing Man Mandy’s works feature various motifs to encapsulate the spirit of the Maumere community in Indonesia, where she completed an artist residency. In this workshop, Ma will guide you to design a personal motif, and then tie and dye cotton thread. We will simplify the ikat process and add a contemporary twist – the dyed thread will not be woven, but instead remain stretched on a frame as a distinctive artwork to adorn your home!
