    Event Details

    As part of the Dear Agnes Exhibition public program, join Altona Meadows (Bunurong Country) artist Zoe Jones for a collaborative weaving experience that invites the local community to slow down, gather and make together. Using paper yarn and foraged materials collected from the Altona and Altona Meadows area, participants will learn a simple twining technique to create a small circular woven form. Each piece is added to a growing mobile, forming a shared canopy — a floating forest shaped by the people who gather.
