Weaving Workshop with Georgia Anne
Join Central and Eastern Arrernte artist Georgia Anne for a hands-on weaving workshop. Rooted in the traditional Aboriginal practice of basket-weaving, this free workshop offers a unique opportunity to connect, share stories, and experience the meditative rhythm of weaving. Traditionally woven by Aboriginal women, baskets were used for gathering food and everyday necessities. The act of weaving itself also created space for yarning, sharing knowledge, and strengthening community ties.
With over a decade of weaving experience, Georgia blends cultural practice with artistic exploration, bringing a deep understanding of this
tradition. Whether you're a beginner or have some experience, this workshop invites you to engage with an enduring cultural practice and
reconnect with the land and each other.

ABOUT OUR FACILITATOR
GEORGIA ANNE
Georgia Anne is a proud Central and Eastern Arrernte woman and a multi-disciplinary artist living and making in Naarm, on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations. Through a practice that blends traditional and contemporary styles, her work embraces the fluid, complex, and evolving nature of identity. Inspired by decolonial perspectives, Georgia explores themes of self-determination and decolonisation, and questions the commodification of Aboriginal identity, aiming to create spaces where Indigenous voices and identities can grow and evolve freely.
Rooted in the slow, intentional craft of hand-making, Georgia works primarily with natural, locally sourced materials that carry their own stories. Her practice is an ongoing process that reflects her relationship with culture, community, and self. Each piece offers space for multiplicity and nuance, honouring the many layers and complexities of identity without conforming to a single, fixed narrative. Her work resists simplistic interpretations of Indigenous art, offering a more nuanced and fluid expression of First Nations identity that honours tradition while allowing space for growth and resistance.
Through acrylic paintings that blend traditional Central Australian styles with contemporary materials, woven forms that navigate the line between sculpture and utility, and hand-built ceramics that challenge the pace of modern life, Georgia seeks to ask what it truly means to be a First Nations artist.
Georgia won the Linden New Art Board First Nations Award at the Linden Postcard Show 2024/2025.
