Plant Fibre Jewellery Making

An Introduction and demonstration of making cords with different grasses and leaves to make your own simple amulet, necklace, or bracelet. We will also look at the types of natural plant fibres you can use and how to prepare them for weaving. You can then make your own cord with the materials supplied before we go on a half hour foraging bushwalk. We will look at foraging materials as well as collecting any interesting items of nature to use for later. 

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 learning how to add feathers and other natural objects to make your own simple amulet, necklace, or bracelet for you to take home.

Please wear shoes suitable for bushwalk :)

Feel free to bring any shells or other trinkets you would like to incorporate into your amulet. Strips of fabrics can also be used if they have colour both sides, eg silks.
