Families and visitors of the Ballina Shire have been invited to be a part of a Citizen Science workshop series and try their hand at weaving.
In a special family focused school holiday program, local weavers Tania Marlowe and Deb Cole from Jugan Dandii will teach hand weaving techniques and riverside Nyangbal yarns.
Participants will learn about introduced and natural fibres of the local area and how they can be prepared and used to make a small sample fish trap.
Tania and Deb will demonstrate and use a variety of local endemic and native fibres, with some introduced fibres, to adapt to a contemporary version of a fish trap or small sample fish trap woven form.
