Weavery

Sunshine Coast Weaving circle - end June
2019-06-29 10:30 - 15:30 (Australia/Brisbane) | Cooran, 377 Sankeys rd, Cooran, Qld, Australia
Learn the Burkina basket weaving method – an open weave plaiting technique – in a ceremony-style weaving circle where each member of the group is honoured for their own special contribution to the group in a gentle, nurturing manner. It is an open-hearted, fun and growthful experience for the beginner and experienced weaver alike, a creative space full of shared wisdom and joy. Use plants that grow in your garden, learn the characteristics of the fibre so as to identify and play with other fibres that suit the technique, as you walk your path onwards.

Testimonials 2018
I did the last trip with Rene in July 2018. I didn’t really know what to expect but I was drawn to the idea of “A meaningful travel experience filled with the richness and joy of connection, healing and personal growth”. And I could get this while doing the thing I love best- weaving?
The trip was about a lot more than weaving. To actually witness and participate in the stunning process of going on country, gathering pandanus with women connected to this country, foraging for the natural dyes to use, being shown how to strip the pandanus and then preparing the dyes and then dying the stripped pieces was a truly amazing process. I had no idea, and can attest that my imagination could not have taken me close to the experience. You actually have to be there, as the saying goes. Those bundles of dyed pandanus at the end of the day was truly remarkable as are my memories of it.
But the trip is about much more than that. It is to also be in the presence of the amazing Rene who ‘held’ this process in an incredible allowing way. This was new to behold and I really valued everything that Rene bought to the trip, including her incredible and tireless strength in loading up the troopee everyday and always making sure that we had everything we needed, including nourishing food and an amazing person to prepare our food for us. This was a real treat.
What Rene offers you on this trip cannot be bought through any kind of ‘commercial’ exercise or tour. Not even close. A number of women on this July trip were there for a second time and I can see why you would return because there is no where else, I know , where you can go and get this wide ranging, unique cultural participation in as I have said a ‘stunning process’ steered by a stunning women committed to her real and substantial relationships with Aboriginal women and other community members of the Gunbalanya Aboriginal community in west Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory of Australia.
You will indeed experience connection, healing and personal growth. Oh, and by the way, I also learnt new techniques in weaving using the beautiful pandanus, saw amazing rock art, and purchased some amazing art pieces from the Injalak Arts Centre which sells amazing artistic works from a variety artists from the Gunbalanya community and surrounding outstations. Should you wish to ask me any questions about my experience I am happy to be contacted on 0413966938.

I was mildly skeptical about the uniqueness of the experience and the value for money that this pretty expensive journey would deliver when I booked; but it was an experience as a fibre artist that I had been longing for for many years.
Given that my expectations were low, I was more than blown away by the joys and rewards that this trip delivered.
Renee is a remarkable, inspiring, knowledgeable and capable Amazonian woman whose relationship with the Gunbalanya weavers is one of genuine friendship and authenticity; it’s obvious that this working relationship has been patiently built over many years and it is this relationship which enables such a unique and non-touristy experience.
The daily drive from Jabiru into Arnhem land and across the East Alligator river to the Gunbalanya community was action packed with some awesome crocodile antics in the river, great bird watching moments and stunning stone country scenery.
Driving around the community to pick up the weaving ladies and run errands for the locals was an education and we gained much insight into aboriginal community life from both Rene and the ladies; Christine, Priscilla and Lyn.
The process of picking the pandanus was fun and strangely addictive. Wandering through the grasslands identifying and collecting dye materials was a revelation.
On our first day after the pandanus picking and dye collecting, we set up camp by a beautiful waterfall/billabong where we prepared the dye materials and were shown the intricate process of stripping and preparing the pandanus fibre in preparation for dyeing and weaving. This was one of many profound moments for me on this journey, sitting cross legged on the ground in this stunning setting, listening to the bird calls above and the ladies chattering in language, pounding plant matter on rocks, whilst fires were lit for dye baths and lunch was prepared by the beautiful Ajuna, daughter of Rene.
I experienced such a strong sense of peace and joy in this timeless setting shared with these remarkable women. I experienced many more moments such as these in the following days, rich with visual beauty, new skills learned and stories shared.
I cannot recommend highly enough this experience if you are into indigenous culture and art, weaving, natural dyes, warm weather, stunning landscapes, phenomenal rock art, inspiring art centres, beautiful women and are after a unique and authentic experience.
Lisa White, Balingup, WA
Just a few words about my second weaving and culture trip to Arnhem Land. The opportunity to return this year was a wonderful surprise and I jumped in with both feet, I knew that beautiful place was not finished with me yet.
Once again there were many heart opening, grounding and delightful surprises. My weaving even improved. Sharing stories and learning so much from our most generous hosts on their country are deeply treasured memories.
Travelling with Rene is a lesson in letting go, letting life flow and is a lot of fun. Great food prepared by the beautiful Ajuna, being fed is such a treat.
Being immersed in nature, yarning and laughing lots, incredible rock art, gathering pandanus, collecting dye and weaving. Being with the Ladies on their country and just listening and learning.
So many layers to this experience, it is difficult to describe. I can only say it is one of the most unique, authentic and life affirming experiences I have had.

Testimonials 2017
This is the most extraordinary incredible soul warming experience!! If you are even remotely considering it – then I’d recommend taking the leap and going. The friendships I made and the privilege of sitting alongside women who shared their amazing knowledge so graciously has altered my heart forever. It was very cool. The kind of cool you can’t even imagine when you read it on paper! You are a very special ‘guide’ Rene! I’m not sure that is the right word – maybe if we understand ‘guide’ as being a facilitator with heart, human connector, relationship builder, sharer of knowledge, driver / counselor, solver of all problems including swollen river crossings (!!!!) – well maybe that would be a start! Freaking awesome experience!
Renee, Brisbane, QLD
When trying to decide if I should take this journey I read some reviews of previous travellers. One stood out to me, it said something like “ if you are even just considering going on this trip …. do it” So I did and I am so grateful that reviewer took the time. Having said that I have taken an age to write this. I am really struggling to find words that do justice to my experience. It was a journey of so many layers, and so removed from my usual existence that words do not come easily. The feeling of crossing the river at Cahills Crossing for the first time, the feeling of travelling into another world, to describe the ancient and powerful landscape. Then you meet the people. Generous, funny, awesome teachers, who took us to their country, their places, told us their stories. We learnt about, gathered and prepared materials for dyeing. We learnt about gathered and stripped pandanus. We dyed that pandanus and learnt different weaving techniques, some of us more successfully than others, that didn’t matter, you could always go and stir the dye pot. We laughed and talked and listened, learnt some language. Played with the delightful children and looked out for Ginga (crocodile). Returning to our comfy camp at night, with an awesome group of women, we cooked and shared and laughed some more. All the while Rene is facilitating, guiding, teaching and taking care of us. I am so grateful that Rene has this passion for sharing culture, and taking others on these journeys. There were so many moments I would love to share, far too many. In the end this was a very personal journey that for me was very profound. But if the idea excites you even a little bit ……do it.

Testimonials 2016
It’s very difficult to put this journey into words. I encourage you to look at Rene’s photos as they beautifully capture the landscape, people and experiences. This is not an experience you will find on Flight Centre or Red Balloon, it is personal and intimate. Rene invites you into a sacred space of connection with the Injalak women who generously welcome you into their lives, land, practices and community for a precious time. Rene skilfully weaves individual desires into a collective experience that becomes a shared memory for life and after you wonder if it was a dream? If you are drawn to this journey I encourage you to do it! Tips include: enter with humour, flexibility, a desire to learn, respect for the process and this will result in thankfulness that an opportunity like this has crossed your path. Enjoy and safe travels.
Isabel, Brisbane, QLD
In early June, I joined an amazing group of women with our fearless leader Rene Bahloo on an adventure to West Arnhem Land. Words do not adequately capture the life changing experience. Suffice to say, for me, it was a defining moment in my life’s journey. The deep sense of connection to country and to the incredible Kunwinjku fibre artists that we had the honour and privilege of working and playing beside will sustain me for a very long time. We shared knowledge, stories, laughter and adventure. Together we harvested fibre from the Pandanus tree and stripped the plant in preparation for dyeing and weaving. We collected natural dyes from the local environment and ground them up to create a variety of colours. The Pandanus fibre was boiled in the dyes and then hung out to dry. We worked seated together learning how to weave coil baskets and wall mats. The women were so generous in sharing their weaving knowledge and patient with our many questions. My heartfelt gratitude extends to Rene for connecting me to this most awesome of adventures and to the women in our group who threw themselves into the experience with open minds, curiosity, wisdom and good humour. It was an unforgettable experience and profound personal and spiritual insights were gained through the peace and connection with our weaving sisters, their families and their country.
Nicole, Newcastle, NSW
This journey is about so much more than just weaving. I felt a very real connection to country, a newfound love and admiration for the generous women we spent time with, and a deeper understanding and respect for culture and life in Arnhem Land. I came away with great learning, many laughs, and a full heart. This was a once in a lifetime experience at a grass roots level and I adored each unique experience.
Lisa, Brisbane, QLD
The Arnhem Land weaving trip was something I had wanted to do for so long. It was
so much more than I had imagined that it would be! It had adventure (crossing Alligator River daily,
but always with great care) to get to the Injalak arts centre! It had friendship and fun, learning about new cultures, meeting new people, mountain climbing, camp fires, going bush to collect natural materials and weaving !! I have found a new connection to my home country Australia that I have been wanting to feel for a long time !! Finally, Rene is such a lovely interesting and fun host! I genuinely felt taken care of and excited for what each day would hold for us ! It was such a delight ! And I think of the Injalak arts centre often and will go there again for sure 🙂

Twist-loop weaving circle at Newlands Cape Town
2019-05-11 11:00 - 16:00 | Newlands TBA, Western Cape, South Africa
Direct Booking link
All South African events
Basket weaving is a practice of the ancient ones. It is a process where fibres are harvested, prepared and transformed slowly into vessels of creation, through the alchemy of heart and mind, fibre and flow. In a weaving circle, a nurturing, sacred and safe space is created wherein the flow of the weave unfolds in tune with the wisdom of the universe, holding space for each individual weaver to take form, grow and bloom. Each woven piece is honoured for its individual beauty, and for its connection to the energy of the whole. No two pieces are the same, as is with each participant of the group.
Rene will take you on a journey into the flow of the weave – she will guide your learning of the techniques of basket weaving as well as gently direct the unfolding of the energetic weave of the group. This is a journey which includes storytelling (Rene is a bit of a storyteller – of life, of growth and of her ongoing travels into the landscape people and culture of Indigenous Australia).
Come and join a special weaving circle with Rene Bahloo in Newlands, before she returns to her home in Australia.
During this unique and informative knowledge exchange experience, you will learn how to create a twist-looped vessel using natural fibres. You will use natural fibres that can be found growing in local gardens, as well as eco dyed raffia.
Much more than a technical skills exchange, this workshop allows for the teachings of the weave to be seen and felt deeply. The voice of every participant is valued and held in sacred space, honouring the wisdom inherent to each member of the group, and the group as a whole. This is a space for healing and learning, teaching, giving and receiving. This is a space for the weaving of the fibres of life.
Rene Bahloo is a weaver, teacher, installation artist and cultural exchange facilitator. She weaves with the fibre and flow of nature and life in order to manifest art, beauty community connection and joyful wellbeing. Rene Bahloo facilitates community gatherings to share the active meditation of basket weaving and to guide others to find their inner wisdom. She also initiates educational opportunities for sharing and reviving cultural weaving practises and facilitates intercultural connections, both in Australia and in her native country of South Africa. Rene’s passions stem from her experience of Australian Indigenous culture, leading to doctoral studies in creative arts, based on Indigenous culture, women’s business, living creatively and weaving journeys to wisdom. Her goal is for us all to weave our world into a better place, to weave ourselves in healing and wellbeing, to weave our environment with passion and purpose. She shares her knowledge through gatherings, circles and retreats in Australia and beyond, and is actively seeking partnerships in Southern Africa (her motherland) to share this important work in ever widening circles.

I did the last trip with Rene in July 2018. I didn’t really know what to expect but I was drawn to the idea of “A meaningful travel experience filled with the richness and joy of connection, healing and personal growth”. And I could get this while doing the thing I love best- weaving?
The trip was about a lot more than weaving. To actually witness and participate in the stunning process of going on country, gathering pandanus with women connected to this country, foraging for the natural dyes to use, being shown how to strip the pandanus and then preparing the dyes and then dying the stripped pieces was a truly amazing process. I had no idea, and can attest that my imagination could not have taken me close to the experience. You actually have to be there, as the saying goes. Those bundles of dyed pandanus at the end of the day was truly remarkable as are my memories of it.
But the trip is about much more than that. It is to also be in the presence of the amazing Rene who ‘held’ this process in an incredible allowing way. This was new to behold and I really valued everything that Rene bought to the trip, including her incredible and tireless strength in loading up the troopee everyday and always making sure that we had everything we needed, including nourishing food and an amazing person to prepare our food for us. This was a real treat.
What Rene offers you on this trip cannot be bought through any kind of ‘commercial’ exercise or tour. Not even close. A number of women on this July trip were there for a second time and I can see why you would return because there is no where else, I know , where you can go and get this wide ranging, unique cultural participation in as I have said a ‘stunning process’ steered by a stunning women committed to her real and substantial relationships with Aboriginal women and other community members of the Gunbalanya Aboriginal community in west Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory of Australia.
You will indeed experience connection, healing and personal growth. Oh, and by the way, I also learnt new techniques in weaving using the beautiful pandanus, saw amazing rock art, and purchased some amazing art pieces from the Injalak Arts Centre which sells amazing artistic works from a variety artists from the Gunbalanya community and surrounding outstations. Should you wish to ask me any questions about my experience I am happy to be contacted on 0413966938.

I was mildly skeptical about the uniqueness of the experience and the value for money that this pretty expensive journey would deliver when I booked; but it was an experience as a fibre artist that I had been longing for for many years.
Given that my expectations were low, I was more than blown away by the joys and rewards that this trip delivered.
Renee is a remarkable, inspiring, knowledgeable and capable Amazonian woman whose relationship with the Gunbalanya weavers is one of genuine friendship and authenticity; it’s obvious that this working relationship has been patiently built over many years and it is this relationship which enables such a unique and non-touristy experience.
The daily drive from Jabiru into Arnhem land and across the East Alligator river to the Gunbalanya community was action packed with some awesome crocodile antics in the river, great bird watching moments and stunning stone country scenery.
Driving around the community to pick up the weaving ladies and run errands for the locals was an education and we gained much insight into aboriginal community life from both Rene and the ladies; Christine, Priscilla and Lyn.
The process of picking the pandanus was fun and strangely addictive. Wandering through the grasslands identifying and collecting dye materials was a revelation.
On our first day after the pandanus picking and dye collecting, we set up camp by a beautiful waterfall/billabong where we prepared the dye materials and were shown the intricate process of stripping and preparing the pandanus fibre in preparation for dyeing and weaving. This was one of many profound moments for me on this journey, sitting cross legged on the ground in this stunning setting, listening to the bird calls above and the ladies chattering in language, pounding plant matter on rocks, whilst fires were lit for dye baths and lunch was prepared by the beautiful Ajuna, daughter of Rene.
I experienced such a strong sense of peace and joy in this timeless setting shared with these remarkable women. I experienced many more moments such as these in the following days, rich with visual beauty, new skills learned and stories shared.
I cannot recommend highly enough this experience if you are into indigenous culture and art, weaving, natural dyes, warm weather, stunning landscapes, phenomenal rock art, inspiring art centres, beautiful women and are after a unique and authentic experience.

Just a few words about my second weaving and culture trip to Arnhem Land. The opportunity to return this year was a wonderful surprise and I jumped in with both feet, I knew that beautiful place was not finished with me yet.
Once again there were many heart opening, grounding and delightful surprises. My weaving even improved. Sharing stories and learning so much from our most generous hosts on their country are deeply treasured memories.
Travelling with Rene is a lesson in letting go, letting life flow and is a lot of fun. Great food prepared by the beautiful Ajuna, being fed is such a treat.
Being immersed in nature, yarning and laughing lots, incredible rock art, gathering pandanus, collecting dye and weaving. Being with the Ladies on their country and just listening and learning.
So many layers to this experience, it is difficult to describe. I can only say it is one of the most unique, authentic and life affirming experiences I have had.

Testimonials 2017
This is the most extraordinary incredible soul warming experience!! If you are even remotely considering it – then I’d recommend taking the leap and going. The friendships I made and the privilege of sitting alongside women who shared their amazing knowledge so graciously has altered my heart forever. It was very cool. The kind of cool you can’t even imagine when you read it on paper! You are a very special ‘guide’ Rene! I’m not sure that is the right word – maybe if we understand ‘guide’ as being a facilitator with heart, human connector, relationship builder, sharer of knowledge, driver / counselor, solver of all problems including swollen river crossings (!!!!) – well maybe that would be a start! Freaking awesome experience!
Renee, Brisbane, QLD
When trying to decide if I should take this journey I read some reviews of previous travellers. One stood out to me, it said something like “ if you are even just considering going on this trip …. do it” So I did and I am so grateful that reviewer took the time. Having said that I have taken an age to write this. I am really struggling to find words that do justice to my experience. It was a journey of so many layers, and so removed from my usual existence that words do not come easily. The feeling of crossing the river at Cahills Crossing for the first time, the feeling of travelling into another world, to describe the ancient and powerful landscape. Then you meet the people. Generous, funny, awesome teachers, who took us to their country, their places, told us their stories. We learnt about, gathered and prepared materials for dyeing. We learnt about gathered and stripped pandanus. We dyed that pandanus and learnt different weaving techniques, some of us more successfully than others, that didn’t matter, you could always go and stir the dye pot. We laughed and talked and listened, learnt some language. Played with the delightful children and looked out for Ginga (crocodile). Returning to our comfy camp at night, with an awesome group of women, we cooked and shared and laughed some more. All the while Rene is facilitating, guiding, teaching and taking care of us. I am so grateful that Rene has this passion for sharing culture, and taking others on these journeys. There were so many moments I would love to share, far too many. In the end this was a very personal journey that for me was very profound. But if the idea excites you even a little bit ……do it.

Testimonials 2016
It’s very difficult to put this journey into words. I encourage you to look at Rene’s photos as they beautifully capture the landscape, people and experiences. This is not an experience you will find on Flight Centre or Red Balloon, it is personal and intimate. Rene invites you into a sacred space of connection with the Injalak women who generously welcome you into their lives, land, practices and community for a precious time. Rene skilfully weaves individual desires into a collective experience that becomes a shared memory for life and after you wonder if it was a dream? If you are drawn to this journey I encourage you to do it! Tips include: enter with humour, flexibility, a desire to learn, respect for the process and this will result in thankfulness that an opportunity like this has crossed your path. Enjoy and safe travels.
Isabel, Brisbane, QLD
In early June, I joined an amazing group of women with our fearless leader Rene Bahloo on an adventure to West Arnhem Land. Words do not adequately capture the life changing experience. Suffice to say, for me, it was a defining moment in my life’s journey. The deep sense of connection to country and to the incredible Kunwinjku fibre artists that we had the honour and privilege of working and playing beside will sustain me for a very long time. We shared knowledge, stories, laughter and adventure. Together we harvested fibre from the Pandanus tree and stripped the plant in preparation for dyeing and weaving. We collected natural dyes from the local environment and ground them up to create a variety of colours. The Pandanus fibre was boiled in the dyes and then hung out to dry. We worked seated together learning how to weave coil baskets and wall mats. The women were so generous in sharing their weaving knowledge and patient with our many questions. My heartfelt gratitude extends to Rene for connecting me to this most awesome of adventures and to the women in our group who threw themselves into the experience with open minds, curiosity, wisdom and good humour. It was an unforgettable experience and profound personal and spiritual insights were gained through the peace and connection with our weaving sisters, their families and their country.
Nicole, Newcastle, NSW
This journey is about so much more than just weaving. I felt a very real connection to country, a newfound love and admiration for the generous women we spent time with, and a deeper understanding and respect for culture and life in Arnhem Land. I came away with great learning, many laughs, and a full heart. This was a once in a lifetime experience at a grass roots level and I adored each unique experience.
Lisa, Brisbane, QLD
The Arnhem Land weaving trip was something I had wanted to do for so long. It was
so much more than I had imagined that it would be! It had adventure (crossing Alligator River daily,
but always with great care) to get to the Injalak arts centre! It had friendship and fun, learning about new cultures, meeting new people, mountain climbing, camp fires, going bush to collect natural materials and weaving !! I have found a new connection to my home country Australia that I have been wanting to feel for a long time !! Finally, Rene is such a lovely interesting and fun host! I genuinely felt taken care of and excited for what each day would hold for us ! It was such a delight ! And I think of the Injalak arts centre often and will go there again for sure 🙂

"Weaving our Future" basketry workshop series
2018-02-01 08:00 - 2018-07-08 17:00 | Sunshine Coast, Queensland, 4554, Australia
FlyerWOF
This is a special series of workshops to connect indigenous and non-indigenous women through the practice of basket weaving, on the Sunshine Coast, Australia.
Participants attending workshops will learn basket weaving techniques that are practical and useful, with fibres from plants that grow locally. These skills will be used to create harvest baskets based on traditional and/or contemporary forms, with an emphasis on creativity and innovation of forms to suit the needs of modern society. In ‘Weaving our Future’, community members will learn where, how and when to harvest a selection of fibres sustainably and how to store and prepare these fibres for use. Yarning is an integral part of this process, where every participant will be given a voice and a nurturing space to share, where all are honoured for their individuality and their part in the dynamics of the group. Indigenous and non- indigenous knowledge is given a place to thrive, encouraging new ideas to emerge. Introducing traditional knowledge holders from Arnhem Land (Kunwinjku women) will add to this experience for deeper cultural connection and knowledge sharing (Karrimarnbun).
This knowledge exchange project will explore the overlap between traditional bush food harvesting, fibre and the baskets used to harvest food and fibre, honouring both traditional and contemporary perspectives. Participants will create both artworks and cultural artifacts, in an attempt to revive, revitalise and reinvent an endangered art form. The project is stage one in a larger vision – the establishment of a local ongoing (intercultural) weaving group, working towards cultural connection and creative exchange opportunities with remote Indigenous weavers.
Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1st February. Two date ranges with techniques working concurrently.

Weaving stories, weaving books – expression of interest
Rene Bahloo of Weavery is inviting expressions of interest to attend a woven artists book workshop series at Wallace House in July/August. This callout is to gauge public demand for the project which involves adapting natural fibre weaving techniques to create a small sculptural (woven) artists book, which will exhibited at Wallace House during the Noosa Open Studios event in August.
This is an expression of interest only, no money will pass hands at this time.
No commitment is being asked for, I am asking if you would be interested in this type of experience, if everything aligned to allow you attendance. Please ‘purchase’ a free ticket to keep in the loop and show your support for the project. Thnaks so much!
This project will be focused on a specific outcome – the creation of a woven ‘artists book’ by each participant, which can be then exhibited at Wallace House and/ or the local Noosa Library exhibition space, during next year’s Noosa Open Studios event.
These workshops will apply natural fibre basket weaving techniques in new and innovative ways to allow the creation of a unique and individual artist’s book by each participant, who can incorporate their own pre-existing skills in novel ways. Eight different weeks will aid the creation of eight different ‘pages’, allowing participants to engage at their own level, using natural fibres as well as other materials such as recycled objects, paper prints, photographs, clay, sewing materials etc. During this time, four different weaving techniques will be taught, as well as how to adapt them to the format of an artists book.
We will also engage in the healing practice of sharing with each other through talking circles – telling stories, sharing feelings and experiences with participants – in order to flesh out our stories and those we find in common.
