Raffia Coiling Workshop $125
In this fun hands on workshop you will learn the art of Coiling, using raw and dyed Raffia sourced from Madagascar. Raffia has been used in weaving and coiling for centuries throughout the world.
Heather will guide you step by step to create either a small vessel or the foundation of a larger project. You will be shown how to consider introducing colour into your work. When working with fibre, texture and colour amazing things are made, which are completely unique to the Artist.
I am always amazed at the different styles and shapes, colour and textures created in this class and you will be too.
Book in and meet other crafters or consider a group of friends, sisters, Baby Shower, Hens night or a Corporate event team builder, this workshop is a wonderful way to bring out your creativity and generosity.

“We had a fantastic afternoon with Heather! All materials were provided along with a delicious cheese platter! We were essentially taught the beautiful art of basket weaving, but along with this we learnt the magic of mindfulness and friendly chatter as we created our pieces. I will definitely be back to experience more of Heathers crafty wisdom.” - Natasha
