In this weaving class, you’ll dive into the art of twining with natural fibres to create a beautiful miniature basket in just one day.
Twining is an ancient art used all over the world to create everything from strong and durable carriers to fine and intricate patterned weaves. It's a fantastic start to your basket making journey.
In our fun, relaxed environment you will:
  • Learn how to identify and work with suitable plant fibers.
  • Discover useful tools you can use when twining.
  • Get hands-on experience with the two-strand twining stitch and shaping techniques.
  • Wrap up your creation with finishing touches using the natural fibres provided for you.
Don’t worry if you’re new to weaving – this workshop is all about exploration, not perfection! You’ll be guided through the process in a welcoming and supportive environment where you'll connect with nature and each other as you learn to weave.
And if you’ve tried two-strand twining before, you can extend your skills with new shapes, patterns and fibres.
All materials for the day are provided, including a beautiful selection of natural fibres that have been harvested and prepared for you.
Join us for this delightful day of weaving and leave with your own mini twined basket to keep!
What you'll get
  • A beautiful selection of natural fibres that have been harvested and prepared for you.

Kirrily explained the required inofrmation very clearly to get us all going and was there available to continually support and go over techniques. The experience was relaxed, friendly and paced very well, resulting in each of us producung a fantastic little basket. Highly recommend Kirrily and this course as an introduction to weaving.
  • 5/5 from Judy Barry, attended Dec 2025: What a calm and generous teacher Kirrilyis. Her instructions were clear and repeated throughout the weaving session as needed. I regained my confidence to persue basketry due to her kind patience. I will revisit her classes in the near future just loved it!

Kirrily Jordan is an award-winning artist specialising in basketry, textiles and social practice. She has taught hundreds of people how to weave baskets and harvest natural weaving materials since 2021, including in her regular workshops around Australia and at music festivals and special events.
Kirrily loves nothing more than to share her knowledge and enthusiasm for basketry, and to see her students growing in confidence, skill and self-expression. She believes deeply in the role of weaving in wellbeing, and ensures her workshops are fun and safe spaces that support play, experimentation and connection.
Although Kirrily started her own weaving journey nearly a decade ago, she is still excited by the power of woven objects. She grounds her teaching with reflection on the diversity of weaving techniques in Australia and overseas and what they can tell us about ourselves, each other and our world.
Kirrily graduated with a Bachelor of Design majoring in textiles in 2023. In 2024 her community weaving project, in which she taught 250 people how to weave, was chosen for the prestigious Emerging Contemporaries exhibition in Canberra, and as a finalist in the Alice Prize. In 2023 she won two Emerging Artist Support Scheme Awards from Craft & Design Canberra and Canberra Spinners and Weavers. Her woven piece Invocation was Highly Commended in the Hornsby Art Prize Emerging Artist Awards in 2022.
Kirrily’s own life is testament to the healing power of art and creativity, having survived a cancer diagnosis and made a radical career change from her high stress office job to artist and maker.
