The Art of Flax weaving and Fire making by hand!
Event description
Join us on Sunday afternoon in St Clair, Dunedin, for a community gathering where we will be running 2 workshops side by side in which you can choose from!
1. Learn how to weave flax inspired by nature
- How to harvest and prepare the flax leaves
- Create a piece of sustainable handwoven art, e.g a basket
2. Learn how to make fire by hand
- How to carve all the tools out of wood
- Create smoke and ash (without matches or a lighter!) and place it on gathered natural material to start your fire
The workshops will be led by the wonderful Karina and Johannes from @nature_weaving and @rewildingnz.
Please let us know if you are keen to do both workshops and we can look at rearranging the timings to make that possible.
They will run for 2-3 hours, with an optional potluck after. Please bring a dish if you'd like to share some kai :)
We would love to see you there!
