LEARN TO WEAVE!

Join local artist Kirrily Jordan and learn to make a gorgeous mini coiled basket with 'Lazy stitch.' Coiling is one of the oldest forms of basketry and has been used for thousands of years across almost every continent. In this workshop we share a range of design possibilities with this simple coiling stitch, and you’ll leave with a fantastic finished piece to take home.

What you’ll learn:

How to work with raffia
The tools you’ll need
How to start your basket
A strong, versatile coiling stitch
Shaping your basket
Finishing off your piece

This workshop is great for beginners and intermediate weavers and all materials for the day are provided. We use raffia because it’s strong and pliable, and perfect to learn with.

Our focus is on exploration and self-expression, so you can check any perfectionism at the door. Come along and see what wonders you create!

BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL as there are limited spaces available.

About me: I am a non-Indigenous weaver born and grown on Ngunnawal, Ngambri, Dharug and Guringai country. The weaving I share has been handed down from many traditions and is passed on with permission.
