Basket Weaving Workshop

12th May 2023

This week Room 2 students had the privilege of working with Noongar artist Yolande Yarran. Yolande taught the students how to do basket weaving. The students were impressed and loved Yolande's basket that she brought in to show them. The boys and girls found that basket weaving wasn't as easy as it looked, however they persevered and showed patience and started to make some lovely looking baskets. Students enjoyed chatting with Yolande about traditional methods for basket weaving and different materials that have been used for thousands of years. It was a fun afternoon and we were very grateful to have had Yolande come and teach us.
