The Fleurieu is a great venue with other artist studios on the premise, a bookstore, a big store with beautiful art and craft pieces for sale, as wellas a free exhibition, coffee and snacks. There was nothing I didn't love about it. Thank you, Tahnae. So lovely to meet you!

I went home with 3 starters and some extra raffia to continue my pieces. Highly recommend!

Not only will you learn a new skill but she has a deep wealth of knowledge on the culture, techniques and materials of the craft of weaving, which she shares generously.

• 5/5 from Michael Amsoms, attended Jul 2025: What a beautiful experience. Tahnae was so generous, warm, approachable, funny and impressively optimistic about how much we’d manage to create (she was right!). Weaving turned out to be incredibly grounding and fulfilling, just like she said. The session felt special — not just because of the hands-on creativity, but also because of the stories and insights shared about Culture, First Nations history, and Tahnae’s own journey. It deepened our connection to Country and community in a really meaningful way. Thank you, Tahnae, for such an awesome workshop. We'd love to see this become a regular class we’d be back in a heartbeat!
