Weaving and Yarning Workshops

People weaving in a circle

We invite you to participate in creating a community artwork. During the workshop, Virginia will guide you through the process of weaving as we work together towards a collaborative artwork that will be displayed during the Weaving Climate Stories Film Festival, and enter into the Lane Cove Art Collection.

No prior experience is necessary; whether this is your first time, or you are a master weaver, all are welcome. Weaving materials will be provided. Places are limited, booking is essential to reserve your spot.

Accessibility

This is an all-ages, all-ability and all-gender workshop. People living with a disability are welcome to attend, please bring your carer/support person with you if you require assistance to participate in the workshop
