An adult ticket is only $60 per person and your children/grandchildren (4-13yrs), can learn how to weave with you for half price, only $30 each! More than one child in the same immediate family ... $30 first child ... subsequent children only $20 each. This covers all tuition, materials and a scrummy afternoon tea. Cooeee Sista's are all about connecting with community, families and culture. Maybe you're wanting to reconnect with culture or maybe you're connecting with it for the very first time, It doesn't matter, because it’s a fantastic opportunity for everyone to learn more about Aboriginal culture and learn a skill that is thousands of years old! If you've always wondered about it, here is your chance to learn how to weave. The skill and knowledge will stay with you forever and the experience of learning this skill with your children is priceless. You'll never look at grasses the same way again! Cooeee Sistas provide a safe, attractive, nurturing space that will encourage your creativity to come to the fore. We like it a bit warm and fuzzy! This exciting afternoon kicks off with Debbs sharing with you, her passion, love & knowledge of traditional Aboriginal weaving practises using native grasses and demonstrating same. Debbs will then invite you to start your very own basket. The material we will use is natural Madagascan raffia which is an ideal soft material for adults & children alike to learn this traditional stitching method. Debbs has also prepared a myriad of naturally & rit dyed, colourful raffia for you to use. This unique family program is suitable for all! Something for everyone ... children, adults, parents, grandparents can join right in. Come and learn something interesting that you didn’t know, make some new friends, share culture and have a happy, memorable experience with your family/kids.

I feel that I should warn you in advance that weaving is way too much fun and terribly addictive! Bookings are essential! Can't wait to see you there!#octoberportmacquarie #aboriginalcultureportmacquarie #aboriginalweaving #weaving #aboriginalculture #culturalarts #portmacquarie #fibreartists #aboriginalbasketweaving #cooeeesistasart #schoolholidaysportmacquarie #ancientbasketry #basketryworkshop #sustainablearts
