Looking for a fun, hands-on way to connect with Aboriginal culture? Join local artist Aunty Debbs Robinson for an unforgettable afternoon of Traditional Aboriginal Basket Weaving!
In this 3-hour workshop, Aunty Debbs will guide you through the ancient art of basket weaving using natural materials, passing on the skills and knowledge of our ancestors in a warm, welcoming environment. It’s a unique chance to deepen your understanding of Australia’s Indigenous cultures while creating something truly special with your own hands.
When: Saturday 24th January 2026
Time: 12:30pm – 3:30pm
Where: Sea Scouts Hall, Port Macquarie
🌟 What’s Included:
All materials provided (including soft Madagascan raffia and beautiful hand-dyed raffia in a rainbow of colours)
Expert tuition for 3+ hours from Debbs
A scrumptious afternoon tea to enjoy while you chat, connect, and share culture
Fun for all ages!
Ticket Prices:
Adult: $60
Kids (4-13yrs): Only $30 (Half-price for your children/grandchildren!)
Family Discount: $30 for the first child, $20 for any additional children from the same family.
Whether you’re wanting to reconnect with culture or explore it for the first time, this workshop is for everyone! It’s a fantastic chance for families to learn together, making memories that will last long after the weaving is done. Plus, you’ll never look at grasses or weeds in the same way again!
Spaces are limited, so book early to secure your place – trust us, you won’t want to miss out. The last workshop was extraordinary, and this one will be too!
Call or text Debbs now on 0434 464 646 to reserve your spot!
Come and experience the joy of weaving, the warmth of community, and the richness of Aboriginal culture. We can’t wait to share this experience with you!
