Torres Strait Islander Coconut Leaf Weaving Workshop
Event organiser
Aboriginal Art Co
About this event
Torres Strait Islander facilitators from Bowie Solutions, a Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal family business, teach the foundations of coconut leaf weaving using fresh, hand-harvested coconut leaves. Cultural knowledge and stories are shared throughout the afternoon as participants weave a piece of their own, choosing from a fish, a grasshopper, a windmill or a ball. The workshop is hosted by Aboriginal Art Co, a not-for-profit registered charity that runs hands-on creative workshops led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists.
