Stage 2: Embracing and Reviving our culture - Weaving Circle (4 sessions: 21 Aug – 11 Sept)
Women will embrace traditional and contemporary weaving practices learning how to create earrings, baskets, wall hangings and baskets which they can sell or display at Kaiela Arts gallery. The weaving workshops will revive our practice through collecting and maintaining the natural materials the way our people used to. We will learn the same weaving stitch that our family has passed down to us and create amazing things using natural and dyed raffia with colours of our choice.
