Weaving Workshop Bookings

Yarkuwa staff and Elders provide Traditional Wamba Wamba Weaving workshops which can be adapted to your group size, age group and time availability. Sit down with local Wamba Wamba women and get your hands and fingers moving (wilkila) as you learn the Wamba Wamba traditional weaving technique and the importance of weaving in the local economy.

Have you ever made a mityat - that's a basket in Wamba Wamba. (It's pronounced 'mee-chart'.)

Don't forget to ask about the Wedding Gift some Moonacullah women made for a local pastoral family wedding years back.
