Artist in Residence Talosusū Kailani Niko

Come, sit, relax, make connections, and experience ongoing cultural weaving practices with Artist in Residence Talosusū Kailani Niko as she delivers a beautiful afternoon of cross-cultural weaving in collaboration with her mentor, Wiradjuri artist Peta Joy Williams, a member of the Red Rattler First Nations Artistic Panel.

This workshop is open to people from all backgrounds.

Part One: Peta Joy Williams will lead the first half of the workshop in Wiradjuri Weaving practice.

This workshop offers a rare opportunity to connect with culture, creativity, and community through the art of weaving — plus, enjoy a delicious feed!

“When undertaking weaving classes this is not a skill that you are learning, this is a journey for a day into Culture and what you learn is non-transferable and not to be taught by you to another person” - This is a space for Cultural appreciation, not Cultural appropriation.” Peta Joy
