Weaving for Families

Join local artist Wanita Lowe (Dunghutti and Biripi) for a relaxed, hands-on weaving workshop for children and their families.

Together, you’ll explore traditional weaving techniques using raffia and create a bracelet or armband to take home. This workshop is a welcoming introduction to cultural making practices, with plenty of space to learn, connect and create side by side.

Designed for children aged 5–12 and their carers. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
