Programme Synopsis Weaving is a craft that helps develop patience and methodical thinking. It also creates awareness of structural form in appreciating sculptures and 3 dimensional design. Weaving is inherent in the material culture of every ethnic group in Singapore. This is an opportunity to expose students to our weaving traditions. Discover cane and bamboo weaving into baskets and furniture by the Chinese community; The ‘Bakul Siah’ wedding basket of the Peranakans; Malay songket fabric, Pandanus mats, and even the ketupat. So too did the Indian for their sarees and the Arabs with their rugs. These traditional craft practices are still being applied in sculptures and contemporary art, for example the Pandanus mat installations by artists like Yee I-Lann. The programme is customised to be age/ability appropriate to cultivate interest in the engagement. The stages involved is a good exercise for developing fine motor skills and process planning. *For digital format or blended workshops, the materials is packed individually by project or lesson and distributed to students to follow the lesson remotely through step-by-step guidance and interaction with the artist instructor over the internet on Zoom.
