🧶 Weaving with Aunty Leanne: Buandig/Boandik lady Aunty Leanne will guide you in crafting a bracelet using Cyperus gymnocaulos, a traditional weaving material. You'll also learn how to start a larger project to continue at home. As you weave, Aunty Leanne will share her cultural knowledge, passed down through generations, connecting you to the traditions of her community. Leanne has participated in a workshop led by Ngarrindjeri Master Weaver, Aunty Ellen Trevorrow, and has continued to weave and hone her knowledge.
🌿 Native Foods with Karen: With over 10 years of experience in the Native Food industry, Karen will help you create native food platters using seasonal local native foods and preserves. Discover how to grow native plants in your garden and learn about Karen’s methods for harvesting and preserving native foods.
🎶 Live Music by Owen Love: Known as the "Song Man," Ngarrindjeri Elder Owen Love will entertain throughout the workshop with his string instruments and yudaki (didgeridoo). Raised on the shores of Lake Alexandrina and surrounded by music since childhood, Owen will bring a soulful, cultural soundtrack to your weaving and tasting experience.
🌱 Native Plants & Preserves for Sale: Take home native food preserves, pickles, edible plants, Cyperus gymnocaulos weaving materials, and more! Australian Native Food Co-op products and Neville Bonney's books will also be available. (Cash only please)
