This is a special opportunity to share time with traditional weavers from Arnhem Land and from Far North Queensland who are on a visit to the Sunshine Coast in Australia for cultural sharing.

These six special weavers all travel once a year to Weavery HQ, where Rene Bahloo hosts them as part of her family, to share their culture, hearts, stories and traditional weaving practices with the wider community.

This is an opportunity for healing through the telling of stories, sharing song, learning language and culture. It is a nurturing and safe space to ask questions, relax, have fun and immerse yourself in a new energy. This indigenous weaving and sharing circle will utilise lomandra and raffia as primary fibres for creating baskets and woven jewellery pieces.

This daytime workshop is offered as a fundraiser to contribute to bus hire, artists fees and flight tickets for the following weekend’s project at Barambah. (The weavers will all go on to connect with women from the stolen generation at Barambah (near Cherbourg) for a really special healing weekend of cultural rejuvenaton and transference of knowledge between the three indigenous groups.

Thank you for supporting us in this important healing work!
