  • Sparrow Artspace 36 4 Street Northeast Calgary, AB, T2E 3R7 Canada (map)

For adults, no art experience required, FREE with Registration

In this workshop, participants will explore the historic craft of hairwork while creating delicate floral forms from horsehair. Drawing from Victorian traditions, the session introduces a foundational technique for shaping sculptural flowers with this unusual material. Participants are encouraged to reflect on themes of intimacy, memory, and the body, considering how personal associations can be woven into the making process. No prior experience is required; all materials and step-by-step guidance will be provided. Taught by artist-in-residence Claudia Chagoya.
