weaving

A hands-on program inviting participants to explore the cultural significance of weaving within Aboriginal traditions.

THE EXPERIENCE

 

Join Olivia Cromarty for a hands-on weaving workshop designed for your students: smaller woven key rings  F-4 and baskets for grades 4-7. Weaving for older year levels. Each student will be given a pre-made coil to start off their basket weaving project. Any students who do not finish in the session will be supplied with instructions and materials to complete their  project.

This engaging program will explore the cultural significance of weaving in Aboriginal traditions, allowing participants to gain a deeper understanding of its historical and spiritual importance. Guided by our educator, students will have the opportunity to create their own woven pieces using natural materials.

Through these workshops, we share the meditative and communal practice of weaving, reconnecting people with tradition, land, and each other - Yarning!
