Bush Animal Weaving Workshop
Advertisement
Date: Saturday 15 August 2026
Time: 10.30am – 1pm
Location: Joondalup Contemporary Art Gallery
102 Boas Avenue, Joondalup
Topic: Arts and culture
Suitable for: All ages (recommended for ages 5 – 12. Children must be accompanied by an adult)
Cost: $10 per person
Join Yjindibarndi and Djaru artist Emma-Jane Hunt for a playful weaving workshop inspired by Australian bush animals and native creatures.
Using colourful materials and simple weaving techniques, participants will create their own handmade bush critter to take home — from cheeky lizards to squishy honey ants and other curious native animals. Designed especially for children and families, this workshop encourages creativity, storytelling and hands-on cultural learning.
Emma-Jane was taught to weave by Martu Weavers from the Western Desert while living in the East Pilbara and is passionate about keeping weaving alive as an important cultural practice.
Presented as part of the City of Joondalup’s 2026 NAIDOC Week program. Book tickets now at https://events.leapevents.com/event/bush-animal-weaving-workshop/listing
