Harriet Goodall’s signature online course Form to Freedom – Weaving for Fibre Sculpture has been designed with this in mind.

Carefully developed as a deep dive into working with plants, fibres, dyeing and the basketry techniques Harriet uses to make her sculptural objects and woven lighting unique and original.

Harriet Goodall invites you into her private studio and promises to free your mind to the endless sculptural possibilities that ancient weaving techniques provide when combined with contemporary basketry. The same techniques and ethical practices she has used to sustain her professional art practice for over 14 years, making her one of Australia’s most loved fibre artists.

All course materials, including self-paced beautifully filmed streaming videos and comprehensive resource guides, are within an easy to use member portal and yours to access and revisit anytime.

Form to Freedom – Weaving For Fibre Sculpture is an investment in your creative education. It’s a worldwide community for enrolled students to come together in a private online forum and share your weaving adventures directly with Harriet, ask questions, bounce ideas, pass knowledge sideways and a resource for life!

About This Course

“This is by far the best online course I have ever taken!”

AVA ROTH

Weave At Your Own Pace

 The problem with a live class is that you are limited by time, but in this online experience, you’re going to do the equivalent of half a dozen live workshops indulging in a holistic look at basket weaving techniques as a springboard into fibre sculpture.

It may take you many weeks or even years to try out all the things Harriet will share with you in this course. Some of them may make you buzz with ideas more than others but that’s the way a great artist is made, slowly and with practice.

By fully engaging with the course content you will try out different processes and become adept at incorporating a variety of materials into 3D fibre sculpture or learn to incorporate weaving into your mixed media 2D pieces with your own unique expression.

What Harriet's Students Are Saying

Harriet Goodall’s ability to project her delightful personality, to clearly demonstrate basketry techniques and offer extensive ideas for developing them in a contemporary way added to my sense of enjoyment of “Form to Freedom”.

The course content, organisation, and support from Harriet, the Fibre Arts Take Two team and fellow participants provided an inspirational online course.

Wendy-Redden-Form-to-Freedom-

I enjoyed every part of Harriet’s course, but quite unexpectedly, enjoyed the coiling best. I have since continued to make coiled pots from anything I can find. I went into this course fully convinced that I would only be making random weave pieces, but I am now a coil convert.

My own art practice involves a lot of dyeing, so I can now pop on a pot of grasses, twine and many found items, to produce combinations of natural and dyed fibres.

I have highly recommended Harriet’s course to friends, and look forward to having “weaving’ days, as well as our usual “dyeing” days.

Thank you to all the team for providing these online courses.

Sue-Jurd-Fibre-Arts-Take-Two-

Form to Freedom was wonderful and inspiring. 

I absolutely loved seeing what all the participants made using similar techniques but such a wide variety of materials and approaches.  I have not yet turned my attention to several of the modules, and have not tried my hand at all of the skills yet, so am excited to keep learning.

Thank you – this is by far the best online course I have ever taken!

Sue-Jurd-Fibre-Arts-Take-Two-

Professional tuition delivered with real heart and integrity…this course is everything I’d ever wanted, right here in my living room!

Big thanks to you, Harriet, for sharing your life’s passion, inspiration, and expertise so eloquently.

Enjoyment was ever-present from the mediative motion of moving materials through my fingers and allowing those materials to take form unhindered by too much thought on my part.

If you are keen to engage your creative energy and would like clear, precise, professional guidance that is yours for a lifetime go ahead join the team, enrich your life.

Estelle_Virgen_Form_To_Freedom

Wonderful to work at home at my own pace, instructions so well presented, clear, and detailed every step of the way.  Feedback and encouragement kept both spirits and enthusiasm high and it’s always there when I need it.

“Harriet’s class has been a gentle and gracious treat. Her presentations were thorough enough to inspire a deep dive into technique yet openly encouraging to play. Love the self-regulated process/progress.”

Pam-Frail_Form-To_Freedom

“The course encouraged me to combine different techniques of weaving. It also has opened my eyes for the beautiful natural materials in the closed surrounding.”

Mirjam-Wey-Fibre-Arts-Take-Two-Weaving--e1659504834262

Form to Freedom has provided the stepping stones to develop a deepening awareness and understanding of the plants in my locality and their potential (or not) as weaving material. 

I have no previous weaving experience but Harriet’s approach inspired me to “have a go” and I am still enjoying learning. The continuing sense of “endless possibilities “ is exciting. It is a wonderful resource.

Margaret-Earle-Fibre-Arts-Take-Two-

This course has made an exponential difference to my work. In addition to teaching the techniques, each module showcases some of the endless possibilities of how they could be used. Prior to this, although I already knew most of the techniques, I  was having difficulty expanding on that knowledge.

I am now producing finished work that I am proud of.

Harriet is such a generous & inspiring teacher. She went above & beyond to provide additional information & explanations. The Q&A sessions contain a wealth of extra content. It has been a real treat to have had this opportunity to learn from her in my own space.

Ang & the team at Fibre Arts Take Two are creating a body of knowledge that will be a treasure for years to come.

Anne-Marie-Cronin-Fibre-Arts-Take-Two-

This course has opened up my creativity so much – helping me to make the shift from creating 2D pieces to 3D forms

I’m thoroughly enjoying the diversity of each module and the freedom to take the knowledge that Harriet Goodall shares, in any which way you choose – there is so much to explore!  The excitement I feel as my fibre pieces begin to evolve in such an organic way.  Again I just love the freedom to create in 3D. 

In recommending this course I would say – if you’re looking for teaching and knowledge that is going to open you up creatively and take you in a direction that you may never have thought about going – then this is for you!

Thank you, Harriet and Fibre Arts Take Two!

Libby-Queale-Fibre-Arts-Take-Two-

Everything about the course is wonderful. The relaxed and warm vibe of Harriet and her environment is an absolute delight. 

It’s given me the core skills I need in order to make my visions come to life. I’ve immediately been able to take what I’ve learned and incorporate those skills into my practice.

DO IT! Worth every penny.

Elishia-Jackson-Fibre-Arts-Take-Two-

I have particularly enjoyed stepping out into nature and foraging for materials that can be used to create beautiful pieces.  For me this has been a gentle and extremely satisfying journey into three-dimensional creative art, extending traditional techniques. 

Harriet Goodall’s course is very professional and covers a variety of techniques.  I have already recommended it to my friends.

About Harriet Goodall

Harriet Goodall has dedicated her entire adult life in service to the preservation of culture through her pursuit of weaving.

She has witnessed first hand indigenous weavers in Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Japan, India, Australia and across southern Africa recognising the universality in coming together to dye and weave in villages and homes.

“I find the community that is created when weaving in a group is soul food and really beneficial to mental health – perhaps mimicking the ‘family model’ of making at home, so prevalent across many countries I have visited around the world.”

Harriet has run an independent art studio making sculpture, lighting and woven installations for private and commercial clients since 2007. She exhibits regularly and has passed on her passion for contemporary basket making techniques through popular workshops across Australia and around the world.

“I’m looking forward to the opportunity to share my passion and knowledge of weaving with a global audience, embracing the challenge of creating an online community of international weavers to connect with and also learn from.”
