Basket Making for Beginners
Event description
Join special guest artist, maker, ecologist and science communicator, Bindi, for this skill sharing workshop into coiled basket making. Participants will learn the basics of processing non-native plants into usable fibres, and by using natural and reclaimed fibres, start making a basket to take home.
WORKSHOP DETAILS
Location - This workshop will be delivered in our Education Centre, opposite the South Hobart Tip Shop(Look for the sign). This building is also known as our old tip shop building (the green shed). It can be a little cold on cooler days so please wear warm clothes and we'll light the fire. Our public toilets are located in the South Hobart Tip Shop.
What to bring - We'll supply all the materials and equipment. You are welcome to bring $2 in cash to buy a darning needle from Bindi to take home.
How to get here - You can ride, walk, drive or bus to our Education Centre. Buses stop on Cascade Road, and from there its a 10-15 minute walk along McRobies Road to our centre.
Cancellations - In the event of severe weather conditions such as strong winds, the McRobies Gully Waste Management facility in which we are located can be closed to the public to keep everyone safe. If this occurs, our workshop will be cancelled. We will make every effort to notify participants as early as possible by phone and email, and provide refunds. We will then work on rescheduling the workshop in the future.
