Sunshine Coast Weavery basketmaking workshop and sharing circle

Weave a dilly bag or sculptural piece with palm inflorescence. You will take home so much more than what you expected – connection, calm, groundedness and new friends! Experience the healing, nurturing and centering forces that emerge as you weave with awareness, intention and mindfulness. Rene will facilitate a journey through the creative energy of the universe using plants that are all around you – you will never look at your natural environment in the same way again! Beginners welcome. Please bring a lunch dish to share with the group, for extra culinary connection.

An A-Z of weaving plant fibres

Plant fibres are amazing things, especially when you can use them to weave! So I have decided to go on a journey to discover which of these particular fibres grow in our gardens around the Sunshine Coast. The local Sunshine Coast Council has come to the party too, by granting me a RADF grant to complete the project…yay!!!
What will follow here is an outcome of this project – a blog about plants I’ve encountered in my search for weaving fibres… an A-Z of suitable (and possibly not too suitable fibres) as I pull, twist, shred and coil my way around the coast. As I commune with nature and uncover her weaving secrets… keep tuned…. A is on its way!!!
