Learn how to use natural materials to make a small twined basket with Jodie Goldring.

In this full-day workshop, you will learn to use materials such as red-hot poker or day lily of chasmanthe to make a small basket using the traditional basketry technique of twining.

Twining is the twisting of two strands of flexible material alternately around a support. This technique creates shape as well as adding stability to baskets.

At the end of the day, you will take your twined basket home with you.

Held at Ballarat’s Australian Centre for Rare Arts and Forgotten Trades, a world-class facility dedicated to learning and preserving Australia’s rare arts and trades through a series of workshops, masterclasses, events, and residencies.

Stay In the Know

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
