Kirrily Jordan
Kirrily Jordan

female Women-owned

Kirrily Jordan is an award-winning artist specialising in basketry, textiles and social practice. She has taught hundreds of people how to weave baskets and harvest natural weaving materials since 2021, including in her regular workshops around Australia and at music festivals and special events.
Kirrily loves nothing more than to share her knowledge and enthusiasm for basketry, and to see her students growing in confidence, skill and self-expression. She believes deeply in the role of weaving in wellbeing, and ensures her workshops are fun and safe spaces that support play, experimentation and connection.
Although Kirrily started her own weaving journey nearly a decade ago, she is still excited by the power of woven objects. She grounds her teaching with reflection on the diversity of weaving techniques in Australia and overseas and what they can tell us about ourselves, each other and our world.
Kirrily graduated with a Bachelor of Design majoring in textiles in 2023. In 2024 her community weaving project, in which she taught 250 people how to weave, was chosen for the prestigious Emerging Contemporaries exhibition in Canberra, and as a finalist in the Alice Prize. In 2023 she won two Emerging Artist Support Scheme Awards from Craft & Design Canberra and Canberra Spinners and Weavers. Her woven piece Invocation was Highly Commended in the Hornsby Art Prize Emerging Artist Awards in 2022.
Kirrily’s own life is testament to the healing power of art and creativity, having survived a cancer diagnosis and made a radical career change from her high stress office job to artist and maker.
