Get away to the Southern Highlands for our two-day Raffia Retreat with Brooke Munro. A chance to wind down, rug up by the fire with like-minded souls, and immerse yourself in the world of basketry!
Perfect for beginners through to the more experienced maker. Over two days with Brooke you will learn and practise many aspects of basket making with both traditional and explorative techniques.
Some of the techniques Brooke will cover across the two days include:
- Cordage and String making
- Coiling
- Plaiting
- Twining
- Cobbling
We will be using natural Madagascan raffia dyed in an array of colours. All raffia and tools used in the two-day retreat will be included in your ticket price with the option of purchasing extra to take home at the end of the weekend.
With an intimate sized group of students you will have expert and one-on-one tuition with Brooke.
You will have the opportunity to work on one single piece (whether it be a basket or artwork) or many pieces over the two days.
Our beautiful space at Mooonacres School allows for a relaxing retreat, where you will enjoy delicious Moonacres fare, including morning and afternoon teas and lunch on both days, with a glass of bubbles in the afternoon. The fire will keep us cosy as we work and watch the world go by in Robertson.We cant wait to welcome you!
The class begins on Saturday at 9.30am for 10am and runs to 4pm.
On Sunday we start at 10am and finish at 4pm.
If you are travelling to the Highlands there are some fabulous B&Bs, pub stays or properties for groups of friends.
When you sign up we will send you a list of some of our favourites in the area.
