Woven Together
First Nation weaving workshops with local weavers; Ronnie Jordan from Culture on the Move and Jodie Munday. Woven Together is about coming together, sharing skills and having a yarn.
Woven Together consists of free workshops in each of the STA local government areas with First Nations mob and community and with small schools.
Woven Together workshops may consist of Traditional Doll and Animal Making and or Traditional Weaving techniques as negotiated with each host school of organisation.
Participation in a Woven Together workshop provides people with an understanding of how First Nations culture is very much alive and relevant. By using both traditional and modern materials students gain knowledge and understanding of a long-used practice.

Ronnie is a qualified professional weaver currently delivering weaving workshops to government, community groups, schools and festivals. By teaching the cultural techniques of weaving it ensures this traditional skill continues for generations to come.
Ronnie teaches various art mediums in workshops to government, community groups and schools. These workshops provide participants with an understanding of Aboriginal art, its meaning and its importance to our ongoing culture. A hands-on experience empowering participants with a sense of connection, as it was designed to do thousands of years ago.
This results in the audience experiencing and sharing in an important aspect of our culture, whether it is children experiencing it for the first time or Elders reminiscing about an element of their youth.
