Weaving Connections
Experience the rich cultural traditions of Aboriginal weaving and yarning in this hands-on gallery workshop.
Virginia —an experienced weaver and artist—will gently guide you through traditional techniques to create your own unique weaving.
Throughout the workshop, we will share stories and reflections—while deepening our understanding of Indigenous cultural connections, practices, and knowledge.
Leave with more than just a finished piece: take with you a sense of connection, community, and insight into the living tradition of Aboriginal weaving.
No prior experience is necessary—everyone is welcome, and all materials will be provided.
