Immerse yourself in a traditional practice that promotes patience and understanding, with the team at Gumaraa on the NSW South Coast.
Weaving holds deep cultural significance for Aboriginal women and it’s been used for creating essential tools, including baskets, fishing nets, jewellery, skin cloaks, and food-related items.
This weaving workshop offers a hands-on experience where you can learn the purpose of the tools used, the techniques involved, and the cultural importance of weaving. You’ll discover how Aboriginal women came together to craft these vital items, strengthening community bonds through shared knowledge – and create your own piece to take home.
We love that through the mindful act of weaving, individuals gain patience, understanding, and a connection to the earth, recognizing how we, like delicate threads, are woven into the fabric of life.
This program is suitable for all skill levels, making it accessible to everyone eager to learn and experience this rich cultural practice.
