Handmade Organic Basket weaving


  • Ormiston Town Centre - Cultural Hub next to New World 240 Ormiston Road Auckland, Auckland, 2019 New Zealand (map)

Learn how to weave a small basket using foraged foliage and a terracotta base.
Transform excess leaves and vines into a beautiful, natural vessel through mindful handcrafting. Enjoy this meditative process of coiling and weaving plant materials to create an organic, sustainable object — perfect for your home or as a heartfelt handmade gift.

This workshop is led by Sarah Walker-Holt, a local New Zealand visual artist and contemporary jeweller. Represented by Fingers Gallery in Auckland’s CBD and Art Industry in Clevedon, Sarah exhibits both nationally and internationally. Her current research explores the sourcing, growing, foraging, and processing of natural materials — with organic basket-making forming an integral part of her artistic practice.

Saturday 29 November 10am - 2pm in the Cultural Hub in Ormiston Town Centre Books essential.

This project is a Funded by Arts Out East. Arts Out East is a Te Tuhi programme supported by the Howick Local Board.
