As part of its commitment to positive ageing the City of Greater Bendigo is offering a free sustainable weaving workshop for people aged 55 plus from 10am to 12pm on Thursday May 8, at the Samuel Gadd Centre at the Bendigo Botanic Gardens, White Hills.
City of Greater Bendigo Community Partnerships Acting Manager Jo Connellan said the workshop will be presented by Yorta Yorta woman and celebrated artist Janet Bromley.
“This is a hands-on workshop and participants will enjoy a morning of sustainable weaving with Janet who will guide them through the steps to create a small woven wall hanging using recycled textiles, household objects and found natural materials,” Ms Connellan said.
“Janet will also share her First Nations cultural insights while exploring the connection between tradition and sustainability.
“If you love crafting, care about the environment, or just want to try something new, this workshop is for you.”
