Basket weaving in nature - learn the 'wrapping stitch'

Heartwood Nature Bathing warmly offers a special 3-hour basket weaving experience.

This workshop utilies the 'wrapping' stitch style shown in the photos. (Check my other events for other stitch styles!)

No prior experience is needed for this experience, which will help you cultivate a sense of calm, creativity and connection.

This small group experience takes place at the beautiful Mount Coot-Tha Botanic Gardens in Brisbane/Meanjin, on Turrbal and Jagera country.

Ample parking is available on site.

Details of where to meet on the day will be provided via email 48 hours prior to the event - please ensure you use the correct email to register!

This event has a maximum of 10 participants, and is suitable for people 12 years and over.

We will use raffia, and weave in a coil style.

No prior experience is necessary and all materials are provided.

Y ou can expect to weave a small basket or coaster in this session, and you will take home the skills needed to complete larger projects.

This is a very gentle experience; you can expect to travel no further than 1km. The route is manageable for all fitness levels, as well as assisted wheelchair users.

If you have any accessibility or mobility concerns, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
