Set between Shellharbour and Kiama, Killalea Regional Park provides the ideal backdrop as you learn to weave using grasses, reeds and other natural materials. Once you’ve built your confidence, you’ll create your own handwoven piece to take home.
As you explore your creative side, your guide will share how Aboriginal women weave baskets, carry bags and other items for daily use. You’ll discover how these ancient skills and practices carry a strong cultural connection for local Aboriginal women.
All material will be supplied on the day.
