Wish Upon a Jellyfish – Weaving

Before the age of plastics, basketry was deeply embedded in fishing practices, from crafting traps to carrying the day's catch. Now, with our oceans facing overfishing and warming, jellyfish are proliferating worldwide, a strong sign of ecological imbalance.

Join Australian artist Aly de Groot to creatively tackle this challenge. Learn fundamental basket-making processes and transform discarded fishing lines and other marine debris into your own beautiful jellyfish sculpture. Weave a symbol of change to hang in your home or garden, contributing to a vital conversation about ocean health.
