Create traditional Water Carrying Baskets from your every-day palm fronds with local Gumbaynggirr Weaver Amber Seccombe-Flanders.
These baskets were used by mob all over the coast to carry water from one place to another. The lining of the frond sheath (the part that sticks to the tree) is waterproof to direct water down the trunk of the palm, and after soaking the frond it becomes soft like leather and able to be folded and stitched to become a water-tight vessel!
The event will be out the back of Yarrawarra in our crafty undercover workshop space.
Young Children will require supervision and/or assistance using sharp needles
Yarrawarra Love donations of large palm fronds if you have bangalow or alexander palms on your property, feel free to bring them along.
