WEAVE WITH PURPOSE: An Introduction to Pandanus Weaving.
WEAVE WITH PURPOSE: An Introduction to Pandanus Weaving.
In the Pacific Islands, weaving is far more than an art form—it is a living lineage, an expression of identity, and a repository of intergenerational knowledge passed down through the hands of our women.
🌟 Join Melanesian Women Today and @aquilasnestvineyards for an immersive, hands-on workshop led by MWT Board Member and Vanuatu Diaspora Representative Daniella Jacobsen. You’ll learn the foundations of pandanus leaf preparation and craft your own set of handwoven coasters to take home!
🌟 Organized by: Daniella Jacobsen
