Yirriwinari collection. Yirriwinari is the Tiwi word for dry season from the old time Tiwi language. These earrings represent the deep red colours of the roots in Tiwi earth. 

Maker Story...

Introducing ReTelling Country - a youth led enterprise by our team member, and young Tiwi/Wunumbal artisan, Sharniqua Hutt (nee Oxtoby).

ReTelling Country is a collection of small, handmade creations representing Sharniqua's connection to country and culture in the tropical north.

Sharniqua first learnt to weave, using traditional techniques taught by Aunty Sandy (RIP) from the Wangatunga Strong Women's group.

A Two-Kind production, Sharniqua has received women's business mentoring support from our collective, who are dedicated to creating career pathways and investing in the next generation. 

We hope this one-of-a-kindness collection inspires you too!
