About the workshop:
Celebrate the season and the spirit of Country by crafting your own native floral wreath. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to build a natural base using foraged and sustainable materials, then weave in native blooms and botanicals to create a one-of-a-kind piece. Guided by Blak Botanics, this is a slow, mindful making experience - where each stem tells a story and each wreath becomes a reflection of place, memory, and creativity. All materials provided. No experience needed - just bring your curiosity and love for native flora.
About the artist:
Blak Botanics is the creative practice of Nadine McDonald-Dowd, a proud Yuwi woman, artist, and creative. Rooted in Country and culture, Blak Botanics explores the living relationship between Indigenous identity and native flora through sculptural forms, workshops, and installations. Nadine’s work is a tactile conversation with land—honouring ancestral knowledge, seasonal rhythms, and the quiet power of plants. Based on Kabi Kabi Country, Blak Botanics invites you to gather, create, and connect with the natural world, engaging through storytelling, and sovereignty through botanical art.
A complimentary drink on arrival plus grazing board will be provided. More drinks are available for purchase on the night.
