Mrs Brooke Munro's RAFFIA RETREAT WEEKEND

'Basketry Immersion'

Mrs Brooke Munro is considered one of the great basket weavers in Australia and this weekend will be a perfect opportunity for beginners or the more experienced maker to immerse themselves in raffia basketry and art.

We will learn and practise many aspects of basket making, including traditional and explorative.

Brooke will cover Cordage & String Making; Coiling; Plaiting; Twining and Cobbling.

We will use natural high quality Madagascan raffia, dyed in a variety of colours.

You will have the opportunity to work on the one large piece, be it basket or artwork or many pieces over the course of the two days.

The weekend includes as much tea, coffee and cake as you'd like and a delicious lunch sourced from the MRR kitchen garden, washed down with a glass of champagne each day.

Accommodation is available in our guesthouses, but is limited so get in quick and treat yourself or get a group of friends together.
