Miranda learnt to weave from both her grandmothers and her mother, watching the old people work and feeling inspired to carry on their traditions. She began by practicing on dilly bags and coiled baskets, developing her skills through patience and care. These days, weaving has become a way for her to relax and reconnect. When preparing her dyes, she takes her time, thoughtfully reflecting on her old people and the knowledge they passed down. As she works, she thinks about the many colours she can create, honouring the past through each careful step of the process.
