Ngumpie Basket Weaving workshop
Event description

In this class, you will have the opportunity to create a beautiful basket using the ancient art of basket weaving. We will guide you through the traditional techniques that have been shared with Aboriginal people for centuries. Immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage as you learn to weave your own basket.
Ngumpie, a word from the Barkindji language, translates to "beautiful." As you weave and shape your basket, you will witness the beauty of this craft coming to life before your eyes. Each step of the process will be a testament to the intricate skills and artistic expression embedded within the Aboriginal culture.
