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.

One of them is the police station, on the corner of Main and Perry Sts.
According to research by the Alstonville Plateau Historical Society, the station was completed in October 1903.
“It seems that after the opening of the Federal Hotel 1901 it became common that ‘disgusting language’ and ‘bouts of fisticuffs’ occurred in the Main Street,” the society explains on its website.
“So the local Progress Association urged their local Member, Mr Perry, to establish a police presence.
“Their representations were successful and the police station was completed in October 1903.
“It was not until 1910 that the courthouse was used.
“Today the building is still the local police station but the courthouse section of the building has reverted to a police residence and the courtroom is now a residence.”
