Join us for a hands-on weekend of creativity, connection, and sustainable design as part of Mulberry Community Garden Glenroy's Spring Festival 2024. This workshop is proudly funded by the City of Merri-bek &amp; facilitated by Giant Grass. This two-day workshop is perfect for anyone looking to build something amazing with bamboo while learning about sustainable materials and structures. You are welcome to join us for both the days (preferable) as the learning will continue from the first day into the second. To register for both days please select any date, and select the option for "both days" when registering. <h3>Day 1 – Saturday: Zome Building Workshop</h3>Time: 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM Will involve some theory about building with bamboo in the morning and we will get stuck in hands-on construction after morning tea break. One group will start with the assembly of the Zome (A kit with everything you need to create a unique, chill space for your garden, home, or community) while another will get started with cutting and splitting bamboo poles. No prior experience is necessary—just bring your enthusiasm and we’ll guide you through the entire process! <h3>Day 2 – Sunday: Bamboo Trellis Workshop</h3>Time: 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM Day 2 we will start assembling the Netting Structure, where we will create beautiful netting structures for raised garden beds using eco-friendly bamboo. You will learn about connecting bamboo splits and assembling a small structure like this for your own garden. Learn the art of working with this sustainable material while contributing to the festival's green space. <h3>Why Attend?</h3>At Giant Grass, they're passionate about combining art, sustainability, and design to build beautiful, functional spaces. They have more than 20 years of experience in building with bamboo and facilitating participatory workshops across Australia and overseas. Their participatory workshops are focused on empowering communities to co-design and co-build using natural materials like bamboo. By joining us, you’ll not only have fun but also gain hands-on experience and technical knowledge in sustainable construction.
