Weaving Demonstration and Workshop with Philomena Yeatman

Join master weaver and exhibiting artist Philomena Yeatman for a weaving demonstration in her celebrated solo-exhibition Babim, Muudjum, Djanguul before getting “hands-on” and learning simple traditional weaving techniques from the artist herself.

Philomena Yeatman, is a proud Gunggandji woman from Yarrabah, celebrated as a master weaver, screen printer, jewellery maker, ceramicist and cultural custodian. Philomena has been a finalist in the NATSIAA awards three times and won awards across Australia. Philomena is passionate about maintaining the knowledge and techniques taught by her grandmother. Her practice continues the longstanding skills of weaving with pandanus and cabbage palm collected from her immediate environment.

Philomena’s work is inspired by traditional forms used for food collection and gathering from the land and sea. Her techniques include the merging of dyed fibres, which she weaves into the baskets to create distinctive and vibrant designs.

Limited places available – the group will work with Raffia which will be supplied.
