K is for Kokonut...

Heneba (weaver & cultural facilitator)

"The session was a wonderful experience. I loved the practical aspects and the focus on talking and sharing. The weaving was so good that I've been weaving palm fronds at the caravan park with friends, and sharing more stories and opinions. A magical class. Thankyou"
