There are many way you can participate in the making of your own or a loved ones coffin.
Chat to Zimmi to book a personal and closed group or a one-on-one….you come to us or we can come to you.
Group workshops will be on offer throughout the year.
Zimmi also collaborates with Emma Beattie from Before and After Life. Together they facilitate one, two and three day Coffin Weaving and Mortal Reflections workshops. These offerings cater for closed family/friend groups wishing to deeply connect and honour someone with a life limiting diagnosis or for those seeking personal inquiry, professional development or team bonding. Participate in one of their organised events or host your own.
Coffins
If you would like a simple woven coffin, a personalised coffin or you would like to design your own, Zimmi will create according to your needs. You can incorporate textiles, plant fibres and items of significance at any stage of the weaving or finishing process.
Wreaths
For floral ceremonies, events or installations we have vines to suit all occasions. Whether a ready made, PLAIN VINE wreath or a one off design, Zimmi’s team will harvest and forage material to suit your creation.
This online tutorial takes you step by step through the stages of creating a Random Weave Basket made from the Piccabeen Palm.
Zimmi adapted this style and technique in the ‘90’s inspired by maker Jill Brose.
Also available are our bundles of dyed or natural Piccabeen racemes for weaving baskets or artworks.
