Make a small woven mat with senior Mualgal artist Paula Savage. Working across weaving, carving, tie-dying and jewellery making, Paula is deeply influenced by her connection to the reefs off the coast of Lag Mua (Moa Island) in the Torres Strait.
In this 45-minute workshop suitable for ages 12 years and over, you will learn Paula’s ‘one twist’ weaving method and begin making your own small woven mat using seagrass and raffia.
Numbers are limited, so booking is recommended.
