Craft Week x Ngumpie Weaving Workshop
Craft Week x Ngumpie Weaving Workshop
To celebrate Craft Week, Koskela has teamed up with, Tegan Murdock, aka Ngumpie Weaving, to bring you the opportunity to join us for a virtual weaving workshop! Sydney craft week runs from 9th-18th October and celebrates creativity and the handmade in all its forms! This festival creates the opportunity for the whole community to engage with craft, experience the benefits of making, and purchase local handmade work. Led by the Australian Design Centre, each year has a different theme, and, quite fittingly for the whirlwind that 2020 has been, this year’s theme is Change Makers.
Tegan Murdock is an Aboriginal contemporary weaver from the Barkindtji nation. Through her business, Ngumpie Weaving, Tegan believes that she can use weaving as a tool to help people come together and heal in these challenging times. Despite being a Sydney based festival, we want to open up this opportunity to our entire community!
Craft and the act of making with your hands has been proven to have a positive impact on your mental health. And given the rising rates of anxiety and collective grief as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, what better time to learn a new skill and create something for your home? We invite you to be a change-maker with us, and enjoy coming together (virtually) and getting your creative juices flowing.
