This workshop is designed especially for Home Schooler’s accompanied by parent/s. School children not at School for some reason are also welcome. Please let other Home Schooler’s know about this day of creativity designed for all ages. We will be learning all about how to make a basket with a twist weaving style using banana fibre. It will be a lot of fun and we look forward to seeing you there.
What you need to bring:
Water to drink, a snack and a cushion to sit on.
Any bling things that you would like to add into your basket – feathers, shells with holes in them, pretty bits of ribbon, wool, thread or strips of pretty material that you like.
Indigo has been learning all about weaving with natural fibres from various indigenous communities around Australia. She gives back to First Nations people whenever the opportunity arises. Indigo is passionate about connecting people through weaving and connecting all people to Country in a respectful way. She uses traditional fibre and many things that may grow in your garden. Weaving with invasive weeds like Cats Claw helps our native environment.

This workshop will cover different ways to set up your home and garden to be resilient in the face of climate change. One hailstorm can erase all your good work in the garden. The sun has changed colour from yellow to white and plants are changing their behaviour. There are so many aspects to climate change, but we can use clever systems and thrive where others may barely survive. Come along and learn what Steve has learned working in some of the world’s most challenging places.
These projects have trained people on how to grow their way out of poverty. Disaster zones, war zones and poverty zones all benefit from clever permaculture practices. Steve has learned many innovative techniques from many of the people he worked for.
