Kingston Weaving is a new work commissioned by OSCA as part of our Projects of the Everyday initiative. Supported by Arts South Australia, Creative Australia, Stand Like Stone Foundation, FRRR, Creative Partnerships Australia, Nature Festival. Kingston Community School and the Kingston District Council.

In this workshop weaver, activist and actress Natasha Wanganeen (Kaurna, Narungga, Ngarrindjeri, Noongar) will teach traditional and contemporary weaving techniques to make your own woven jewellery piece.

Contemporary art practices have helped sustain the continuation of Ngarrindjeri weaving. Highlighted in Kumarangk, multiple weaving techniques are honoured using different materials across generations of Ngarrindjeri women. Natasha will be teaching you these techniques using multi-coloured raffia to make your pieces.

Free event, bookings required.
