Shroud Making with Leah Giblin (9:30-11:30am)

Leah's workshop will offer participants a chance to print a cloth with leaves and flowers. It will be a taste of the shroud-making ceremony where cloth is imprinted with plants and flowers in a deeply meaningful process that results in a beautiful cloth that is uniquely connected to the family and life of a loved person.

Leah Giblin is a bespoke textile designer and artist with a focus on sustainability, recycling, waste reduction and non-chemical processes.  Leah’s Day Keeper label is designed and manufactured locally in Sydney, with a range of ‘slow’ fashion products and accessories. Leah is applying these design principles to her new range of natural burial garments and shrouds.
