Culturally and traditionally women only.

The practice of weaving in itself holds great significance for First Nations women, being seated and having conversations together forms a big part of the basket or item, all the yarns and conversations shared whilst weaving goes into the piece that is being made.

Much effort time and care is put into each individual piece. It carries with it a depth of knowledge that is sacred.

Jody will take you through the steps to create your own unique raffia basket or item

The raffia materials along with nibbles tea and coffee are included in the price.

To book you need to be a member of the Springwood community Arts Centre. A calendar year subscription can be purchased for $35 at time of booking. Alternatively a workshop membership for 3 months can be purchased for $20

Jody Trindall

Yaama, my name is Jody Trindall. I am a Gomeroi Narrabri yinarr (woman). Art embodies a huge part of who I am, it streams through my family. I am blessed to come from a long line of artists who tell their stories with a passion and commitment for sharing the beauty of our culture. My mother and father are huge influencers in my creative practices. Both artists, they have instilled in me a passion for openly expressing my creativity through connection to culture, country and community. I have a passion for making and creating beautiful pieces being inspired by found natural objects and the natural beauty that surrounds me. I am always inspired by the beauty and colours of country. I often use these colours throughout my work, spending many hours creating individual commissions and pieces that portray the essence that is country. Weaving has many layers not just practically in the making of the piece but spiritually. The practice of weaving in itself holds great significance for First Nations women, being seated and having conversations together forms a big part of the basket or item, all the yarns and conversations shared whilst weaving goes into the piece that is being made. Much effort time and care is put into each individual piece. It carries with it a depth of knowledge that is sacred.
