You can now donate to Kingston Weaving via Give SA!

Kingston Weaving is a First Nations led project by Southeast artists Sonya, Sarah and Suzy Smith, developed with Open Space Contemporary Arts (OSCA). Through weaving, storytelling and sculpture, it explores the return of water to the Kingston region and its significance for community, culture and Country.

In the lead-up to the 2026 Nature Festival, we’re planning free weaving workshops across South Australia. Open to all, these sessions invite people to learn traditional techniques while contributing to a large-scale public artwork.

Each piece created will form part of a striking outdoor installation, unveiled at a two-day event at Pioneer Park in Kingston. This will be a moment for the community to come together and experience the work, and to recognise the shared effort behind it.

At its heart, Kingston Weaving is about connection. It brings people together, shares First Nations knowledge, and deepens our understanding of the environment and Country.

We’re inviting you to be part of this. A donation of any size will directly support the artists, community workshops and the final installation event.

You can donate via the link in our bio - we appreciate your support.

Kingston Weaving part of OSCA’s state-wide artist commissioning initiative, Projects of the Everyday and supported by Create SA, Creative Australia, Stand Like Stone Foundation, Kingston District Council, Fabrik - Lobethal, Hahndorf Academy, Nature Festival, FRRR and OSCA.
