Looking for unique things to do in Melbourne? Join our basket coiling workshop at The Raffia Connection!
Wheatear stitch is a simple but decorative stitch that looks best with a limited colour palette. All materials are included in the workshop, including hand-dyed raffia, a needle, and a starter coil, along with a video sent after the class, which can help you make more trinket baskets or coasters at home.
For complete beginners, we recommend starting with either the Blanket Stitch or Random Stitch Workshop, then progressing to our Wheat Ear Stitch Workshop.
Our workshops are informal and fun and facilitated by Janet, Creative Director at The Raffia Connection in Box Hill North, who is eager to share the art of basket coiling with you all.
