Making Mandji

Contribute to TAC’s ambitious Public Art project Weaving Waters: Mandji the Murray Cod. Using locally grown, harvested, and recycled fibre materials, learn weaving techniques with basket maker Ann McMahon. Participants will create small, coiled forms that will be joined together as patches for Mandji's skin, contributing to a large-scale collaborative artwork. Alongside developing technical skills in coiled basketry, participants will gain confidence to harvest materials and continue weaving beyond the course. You will also learn about the Murray Cod’s conservation, habitat, and First Nations cultural significance through a program of guest speakers. Participants who complete the course are invited to continue attending community weaving sessions at TAC and help bring Mandji to completion ahead of its launch at Craft and Design Canberra’s City of Design Festival in November.
