Jewellery Making

Weaving is a creative, social and meditative process. As any maker will tell you, being mindful throughout the creative process is just as important as the product itself. Putting down your phone, turning off your screens and stepping away from the rush to simply sit, weave, connect with others and be present is an invaluable and incredibly enjoyable way to incorporate mindfulness and creativity into your life.

In this Coil Woven Earrings Workshop, we’ll be incorporating traditional coil weaving practices with modern materials and techniques to create our own unique pair of earrings.  In addition to jewellery, you’ll also be able to use these skills to make baskets, sculptural pieces and wall hangings.

Please note: This class requires at least five students to run. In the unlikely event that we don't get this number of students, we'll cancel the class and fully refund you and inform you via email, so please watch your email a few days prior to the class

Ainsley Warner


I am a fibre artist from Marrickville, Sydney and the maker behind Wild Fibres. I weave baskets and jewellery using a range of fibres including hand dyed Madagascan raffia, wool, hemp string, printed textiles, rope and any other fibres I come across. I’m endlessly inspired by the incredible colours and patterns I come across in my wonderings around the neighbourhood and the wider world.

I am deeply passionate about weaving and creating things with my hands. There’s something about stepping away from screens and technology and taking the time out to create something unique. I find the process both therapeutic and forever inspiring.

I’m also a social worker in Waterloo, providing counselling and practical support to young people. Weaving has not only become a huge passion in my life, but also an incredible balancing tool for my job. I find weaving meditative, fulfilling and creative. I hope to share this passion and process with as many people as I can, so they too can find a creative and calming outlet in their own lives.
