I'm Corrin McNamara — an artist, textile designer, weaver, and educator based in Melbourne.

I'd love to teach you how to make something that lasts.

I've spent years working with yarn, fibre and looms, making meticulously planned, intricate woven structures from my studio, Workplayhouse. I'm drawn to the complex, time-consuming manual process. Weaving is my meditation.

I started teaching because that was my natural progression, keen to share with others. A reason to slow down, use their hands, and make something with real intention behind it. Something made by calm hands to feel proud of.

I also care deeply about how we make things and what we make them from. Every class uses natural and upcycled fibres. I teach weaving as a practice that pushes back against throwaway culture by making the alternative feel genuinely good.

I'm an active member of the Victorian Spinners & Weavers Guild, Alphington Community Centre and the local sustainability community too. It feels good to contribute and be a part of something much bigger.

If any of this resonates, come to a class and see what it’s about.
