Come and join our weavers in this Happy Gathering Place under the shade of the big gums and learn the art of basketry from Gumbaynggirr weaver Lilly Clegg
Learn various weaving and fibre processing techniques, and share in this creative space
“There’s magic in gathering in nature to create. No matter where you come from in the world, we all have ancestors who sat together under the trees and wove baskets, and this is something that connects us to them and to each other
In this space we begin to remember, and it feels so right” Lilly Clegg
