What's On

For First Nations peoples, weaving is a powerful holistic practice that brings community together. Sammi invites you to join a weaving workshop, to weave patches, and bracelets for younger people. These woven contributions will be used to create a larger artwork, that will be displayed at Bankstown Arts Centre.

If tickets are sold out, please feel welcome to join us as this is a drop-in workshop!

Who is Sammi Snedden?

Samantha 'Sammi' Snedden is a Dunghutti and Wiradjuri emerging artist and curator, who has grown up on and was born on Darug land. Connecting to culture and community has always been a passion, which has been passed down from her grandparents. Her late grandfather, David Wright taught her stringing, a weaving technique, as a young child. Years later Samantha reignited her weaving by learning to weave baskets, bracelets, and earrings. This passion for weaving has led her to her art practice today, expanding her weaving into new forms and creative expressions, particularly her iconic lampshades as well as unique woven responses.
