Overview

Learn step by step, basic coil weaving techniques while enjoying wonderful live music. These yarning workshops are open to anyone – no experience is necessary, and all materials will be provided.

Wiradjiri artist Rechelle Turner will introduce you to the joyful meditative practice of slow-stitched coiled weaving. Using raffia, she will help you to master making a center and growing and shaping your own coiled piece.

As you weave, Murawari musician Belle Whyte will perform, sharing her cultural stories along with Rechelle.

Due to popular demand there will be two Yuma Yarn workshops this NAIDOC week, at Woden Library and Tuggeranong Arts Centre.
