Weaving Workshop

Join us for a relaxed afternoon of weaving with proud Gamilaroi artist, weaver and cultural educator Emma Russell, on Wurundjeri Country. Over two hours, Emma will guide participants through traditional weaving techniques, sharing her knowledge, stories and connection to Country along the way. Whether you’re new to weaving or have some experience, this workshop is an opportunity to slow down, learn something new and create alongside others. Emma’s creative practice is inspired by her Aboriginal heritage, family, ancestors and connection to Country. Through weaving, painting, murals and cultural workshops, she brings together traditional cultural knowledge and contemporary artistic expression. Come along for an afternoon of learning, creativity and connection! This is an all-ages event. Children are welcome, and encouraged to join in. (no need to book them a ticket) This event is presented by the Nillumbik Reconciliation Group in partnership with HealthAbility, Learning Co-operative, Montsalvat and Nillumbik Shire Council. We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people as the Traditional Custodians of this land and pay our respects to Elders past and present.
