A day on Country - learning, sharing and gathering together



Set amongst the stunning surrounds of the Mooloolah River Landcare Native Nursery in Kabi Kabi Country, the GATHAA* Fibre and Fashion Market invites you to slow down, to connect with nature and learn about the many ways plants and natural materials are used through culture, art and food.



Join the FREE GATHAA Fibre and Fashion Market for a beautiful morning celebrating culture and creativity. This special themed market brings together First Nations artists, makers and creatives who work with natural fibres, textiles, wearable art and botanicals. Visitors can explore stalls featuring handmade jewellery, woven pieces, slow fashion, beauty products and unique items crafted with care and cultural story.



Throughout the day, there will be opportunities to take part in hands-on workshop,s including botanical dyeing to create your own piece with Cholena Hughes, stamping beautiful designs onto your favourite clothing with Murri Girl Designs, a didgeridoo workshop for the fellas and bush tucker foraging and tastings with Uncle Bruce from Murri Tukka.

As always, GATHAA*, meaning 'to gather' is more than just a market — it’s a space to gather, share knowledge, support First Nations businesses, culture and community.
