Basket Weaving Bliss - A Day of Craft, Creativity, and Connection

Are you ready to get your weave on?

This full-day Weaving Retreat will help you cultivate creativity, calm and connection, as you learn the ancient craft of coil basket weaving.

You can weave with premium raffia, special pandanus fibres, or vintage fabrics - or a mix of everything! You will learn the skills to create baskets, vases, wall hangings, earrings and more ...

This workshop covers four styles:

• Blanket stitch
• Wrapping stitch
• Mariposa stitch
• Cobbling technique

You may work on just one style, or learn them all.

All materials are provided, along with a wholesome vegetarian lunch and tea/coffee.

This event has a maximum of 15 people. All genders, abilities, and expressions of identity are welcome.
