Get ready to stitch your way into a tapestry of stories at "." After grappling with pyrography tools in previous sessions—no burns were reported, thankfully—participants have crafted individual squares of possum skin, each one telling a tale as unique as your auntie's secret pavlova recipe. This time, we'll be sewing those squares together to form a communal cloak, like a giant family quilt but with more culture and fewer cats.

During the workshop, feel free to jot down your thoughts and musings while we stitch away. Don't worry if you're more of a ideas person than a manual labour enthusiast; the real magic happens when you see how each square contributes to a larger narrative. The grand reveal of our completed cloak, along with a delightful audiovisual presentation of everyone's reflections, will take place at the NAIDOC Week morning tea on Sunday 6 July. So, mark your calendars and bring your creativity—we promise it'll be a thread-tastic time.
