The Kokatha Aboriginal Corporation Community Development Team hosted a weaving workshop at Press Road last week, bringing together a small group of participants for a relaxed and hands-on afternoon of learning, creativity and connection.
Attendees built on their weaving skills and confidence, while connecting with culture through traditional weaving practices.
The workshop also provided a wonderful space to share stories, be creative, support positive wellbeing and strengthen relationships within our community.
And, of course, no community workshop is complete without some good food! Everyone enjoyed delicious chicken wraps while taking a well-earned break.
Participants took their unique woven creations home with them to continue working on, and the feedback from the day was fantastic, with many people saying they’d been keen to take part in regular weaving sessions.
Check out the great photos from the day below and see some of the beautiful baskets starting to come to life!We’re hoping to make these workshops a regular part of the KAC Community Development program, with an intention to hold weaving workshops fortnightly.
Keep an eye on our Facebook page for details of the next workshop date!
