Explore the fine art of First Nations weaving practices in this creative jewellery-making workshop led by Ngiyampaa weaver Tarni Eastwood. Grounded in traditional cultural practice, this engaging and intimate workshop not only connects you to a beautiful centuries-old tradition, but also gives you a personalised, hand-made piece of woven jewellery for you to take home or gift to someone special. Learn foundational weaving techniques to craft a gorgeous necklace, bracelet, earrings or any other piece of jewellery that reflects your personal style.

Whether you can barely tie a knot or you're an expert weaver, this workshop offers a space to learn, listen, and create wearable art, individually and together.

With small class sizes to ensure personal guidance, make sure to grab your tickets before spaces fill up!
