Seed Library Workshop and Packing - Creating Jewellery from Native Seeds

Join The Groundswell Collective for a Seed Library Workshop and Packing Session at Redhead Community Library as part of the Seeds of Resilience monthly program.

This session features guest presenter Shiralee Seaman, who will guide participants through her creative practice of making jewellery from native seeds.

Native seeds carry stories of place, resilience and regeneration. In this presentation will explore how seeds can be respectfully collected, prepared and transformed into wearable pieces that celebrate local landscapes and native plants.

Shiralee will share:

• An introduction to native seeds commonly used in jewellery

• Ethical and respectful approaches to seed collection

• Basic seed preparation techniques (cleaning, drying and storing)

• Simple jewellery-making methods using native seeds

Alongside the workshop, participants will help pack and label seeds for the Lake Mac Seed Library, supporting biodiversity, community knowledge-sharing and seed sovereignty.

☕ A relaxed, social morning — creativity, conversation and curiosity encouraged.
