Wadawurrung Weaver
WORKSHOP STYLE
Relaxing, deep concentration, nourishing.
TAMMY SAYS:
I love drawing upon my cultural knowledge and looking at our cultural landscape and using the resources from country that I feel really connected to. It means I’m revitalising and really showcasing our culture. I love my work it’s really meditative, it’s part of my identity as a Wadawurrung woman. I hope people gain an insight into the cultural knowledge and something students can teach their families about Wadawurrung people that were the first persons here.
