DELVENE COCKATOO-COLLINS

Delvene says that this design "reflects a traditional technique passed down to me by my mother. Groups of three individual freshwater reed or yungair are folded together to make strands. When processed carefully, the reeds remain strong and flexible, holding their form without snapping when folded… Each mat and gulay (dilly bag) is a living connection to our cultural heritage, a reminder of the knowledge and traditions of our Ancestors, passed through generations.”

Repeat height: 13.46cm / 5.92"
Repeat width: 35cm / 13.77"

Minimum Order: 5 metres (or 2-5 metres with small order fee of $75)

Lead time: varies, see specifications below
