A full-day weaving workshop in Byron Bay so you can make and finish a beautiful work of art! By the end of this course, not only will you have gorgeous baskets or wall sculptures, but you will be confident in this basketry technique.
Join this fun-filled all-day workshop with weaving expert Catriona Pollard and learn the random weave basketry technique using the wonderful Bangalow Palm inflorescence. The basketry workshop is all about exploration and play, not perfection. Experience and explore sculptural basketry techniques and learn how to create something from found organic material with just your hands and imagination.
It’s a small class, so you get hands-on tuition from an expert weaver. Materials included, but if you have access to Bangalow Palm inflorescence, then bring it along. Once booked, I’ll give you preparation notes.
Suitable for beginners or intermediate weavers. If you’ve never done weaving before – perfect! You’ll love it and leave with a finished basket or sculpture.

  • You want to learn the ancient basketry technique of random weaving but don’t know where to start.

Hi! I'm Catriona Pollard, an award-winning fibre artist and international teacher. Over the past decade, I have taught more than 1, 000 students across Australia and internationally, guiding them to transform foraged plant fibres into expressive, organic sculptural works through weaving techniques.
My practice is grounded in both making and teaching, with a strong focus on fostering meaningful connections between people and the natural world. Through my workshops, courses, and demonstrations, I empower students to see the creative potential in overlooked natural materials—branches, leaves, and seedpods—while developing their own artistic voice. This teaching philosophy sits at the core of my work: using creativity as a pathway to deepen personal and collective relationships with nature.
I deliver sold-out workshops, teach for leading craft and design organisations, and have built a global student community. My teaching reaches a diverse audience, from beginners to experienced makers, across both in-person and digital learning environments.
Alongside my teaching, I maintain an active exhibition practice. I have exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions and been recognised as a finalist and award recipient in major art prizes, including the Australian Textile Art Award, International Art Textile Biennale, Environmental Art & Design Award, Australian Fibre Arts Award, and Ravenswood Women’s Art Prize.
My work is featured in galleries, high-end design spaces, and private collections nationally, and has been profiled across major media.
