Weaving with Ethical Art
Create bottle top bunting and Reef banner
Participants can help create bottle top bunting and a reef banner using marine debris and recycled plastics.
The bunting will be created from recycled baling twine and bottle tops. There will be enough materials for other creative exploration to take place throughout the process.
Your Host Christine Holden
Award-winning local fibre artist, Christine Holden, has been creating unique hand-woven art works and public installations in the Gladstone region for several years, and is well known for her 2D and 3D fibre works made from a unique blend of marine debris and recycled materials found and foraged.
Her ‘ethical art’ reflects how important it is to look after our planet, and explores the possibilities of how something that most people see as rubbish can be turned into something of aesthetic beauty.
Christine experiments with fibres recycled from nature such as green waste, and reclaimed man-made materials including ghost netting, discarded fishing line and rope, and other plastic waste. These are gathered from local surroundings to create art pieces with an important environmental message.
More of Christine’s work can be seen within the Gladstone region, and on her Instagram page @ethical.art
