Kooinda Farm will be hosting two upcoming events before the close of the year! Our 40 acres of pristine native bush is perfect for foraging weaving materials, and we have a selection of great venues for hosting workshops and retreats, including our huge 7m glamping bell tent set in the cool shady woodland. Future retreats will include painting days by our beautiful dam, and much more weaving to come.
Dreamcatcher Weaving
Sunday 22 Oct 9.30am to 12.30pm
Learning to make your own dreamcatcher! We will add feathers and tails, then look at how to do more creative weaving between branches and adding natural objects.
We will then have a morning tea and coffee break around 11am (bring your own snacks – tea and coffee provided)
The last hour will be spent doing some creative weaving on branches, doing half moons, and christmassy hoops so you will have lovely creations to take home.
Feel free to bring any shells or other trinkets you would like to incorporate into your weaving.
