About this event
Weaving workshop is not limited to weaving alone, I like to provide a fuller cultural experience.
I create and support a safe and comfortable environment where when people come together to weave, conversations flow very easily, people are encouraged to ask me cultural questions, including Aboriginal diversity of language, art, cultural practices, food and beliefs. I believe this environment is important in building reconciliation

GALLERY ONE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT WE ARE MEETING ON THE TRADITIONAL COUNTRY OF THE KAURNA PEOPLE AND PAYS RESPECT TO KAURNA ELDERS PAST, PRESENT AND EMERGING.
We recognise and respect their cultural heritage, beliefs and relationship with the land. We acknowledge that they are of continuing importance to the Kaurna people living today. We also extend that respect to other Aboriginal Language Groups and other First Nations.
