Basket Weaving Workshop - Raffia

Set in the tranquil bushland of Mt Eliza, join us to learn the art of basket weaving while sharing stories and connection.

We will begin by exploring a range of basketry methods and discuss different weaving techniques, followed by an introduction to raffia which we will be using for our baskets.

Throughout the workshop, invitations for reflection and sharing will be given to deepen our connection with each other as we recognise the art of weaving not only as a craft, but an ancient practice that holds so much for us as individuals and a collective.

This workshop is ideal for those with or without prior basketry experience. All materials for weaving will be supplied, as well as light refreshments.

Your facilitator, Kim Schroder from Wild Kindling, has explored many forms of weaving and enjoys creating new pieces using a variety of natural materials. She is passionate about sharing her knowledge and skills, inspiring others to learn and pass these traditions on to even more people
