Woven Together
A project of First Nation weaving workshops with Ronnie Jordan from Culture on the Move.
Woven Together will deliver twelve workshops across the six STA local government areas. Six with First Nations mob and community and six workshops with small schools in our area.
Woven Together will develop skills in weaving with a highly skilled First Nations artist, raising the capacity of First Nations groups by forming strong partnerships with STA and local councils.
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
