NEW! Weave Like a Bird: Nest & Egg Making – Younger Kid & Adult

New Workshop alter! Kids and adults are invited to come together in this beautiful nature-inspired foraging workshop with sustainable fibre artist, Cath Inman. Learn how to weave your own handcrafted bird basket using locally foraged and garden plant materials while discovering simple nest-making techniques inspired by nature.

Cath will guide participants through her creative process, introducing a range of plants that are ideal for weaving and nest making, many of which can be easily found in your local area. Using pre-prepared natural fibres, you’ll create a unique woven nest to take home.

Participants will also make a collection of small clay eggs using WA clay. Cath will demonstrate the shaping and burnishing process to create beautifully smooth, organic finishes inspired by real bird eggs.

A warm, hands-on workshop perfect for families, nature lovers, and creative minds of all ages.
