Rattan Weaving Workshop with Meital Katz-Minerbo
Led by visual artist Meital Katz-Minerbo, attendees will get to create their own custom rattan object that’s both decorative and functional.
Rattan is a type of climbing palm that thrives in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia—particularly in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and parts of Sri Lanka and India. It is a flexible and natural material that can be weaved into many different objects. Rattan weaving is a practice that requires a balanced combination between hand strength and mobility.
In this workshop, Meital will teach basic principles of one of the most antique crafts, creating something new by channeling the past. The workshop will begin with an artist talk where Meital will give context to the historic connection between horticulture and arts and crafts as a female practice, including how weaving became part of her own art. She’ll answer any questions before moving onto the second part, a hands-on experience of working with Rattan.
What to know:
Every participant should wear working clothes and expect to get a bit wet as Rattan needs to be moist to activate its elasticity.
The minimum age to attend the workshop is 15 years old, must have a parent or guardian in attendance.
Instructor Biography
Meital Katz-Minerbo is an international visual artist that incorporates crafts into her art installations. For the last decade her practice has been centered in developing an alternative visual language mixing elements from popular culture and fashion with botany and nature. She has a bachelor's and MFA degree in art education, and is a professional academic art lecturer who combines theory and practice into immersive studio and workshop experiences.
