Personal Intention:
To share what I know and how sacred basket weaving is to me and why.
Share books, various techniques, patterning, potential shapes and sacred symbols that can be achieved with weaving.
Later down the track I would like to connect with indigenous women to share their skills and stories
Here is the website that shows the work I did for uni
