Artist Workshop | Weaving with Aly de Groot

Aly de Groot is an award-winning contemporary fibre artist from Northern Australia. She uses natural fibres and marine debris, including fishing line and nets, to produce woven objects that are a gentle, practical response to the devastation of sea life in the plastic age.

Join Aly to learn her weaving techniques and weave a small basket from ghost nets to take home.
