Banana Fibre Workshop

Come and join me on Sunday March 13th, 2016.
I will be running a workshop exploring BANANA fibre.

This workshop focuses on learning how to use the abundant, locally grown banana plant. We will be using techniques used in traditional cultures since ancient times:

-harvesting and processing banana fibre,

-string (cordage) making from banana fibre,

-knotless netting to make a billum (string bag),

-coiling a basket.

All this using only your hands and a few very simple tools. At the end of the day you will be able to take home your creations and the banana fibre you've processed.

Suitable for all skill levels.

$125 (includes a vegetarian lunch, all materials and tools).

Limited to 10 participants.
