- 5/5 from Wonda Ball, attended Apr 2022: Absolutely brilliant basket weaving workshop in an easy to find great location venue. Roz was a welcoming and friendly teacher of her passionate craft. Her knowledge of diverse basket making techniques, natural weaving fibres, native plants and dyeing techniques was inspirational. She nurtured every participant through their learning and skills development. Roz was so personable, open to questions, advice, listening and hands-on in a one to one tutoring style whilst being inclusive of the whole group. Obviously a very talented facilitator of group dynamics. As a visual learner l really appreciated how Roz circulated around the group to show each participant the ‘next step’ skill. Do l want to do more classes with Roz? - Definitely!

Roz from Be Kind Textiles
4.8 (14)
After graduating from Textile Design and Development at RMIT, where she majored in weave and printmaking, Roz sought to distance herself from the questionable ethics of fast fashion and textile waste. Using sustainable methods and ethically-sourced materials, she produced an austere range of high-quality garments under the brand Be Kind Textiles. Driven by an unquenchable passion, Roz spent the following years delving into every craft within her reach. She now proffers her results and lifelong love of art and textiles with anyone who’s willing.
