Yiriman Women’s art and design products include designs, baskets, traditional jewelry and other wearable arts derived from bush plants, fabrics coloured with root-based dyes and other items such as painted boab nuts.
Yiriman women have been making beaded jewellery from seeds for many
generations. This enterprise engaged young women in new and
exciting opportunities which utilise cultural knowledge and merge this with new
mediums.
All Yiriman Women products are certified and labelled with authenticity, and an accompanying cultural story which extends the message of the Yiriman social enterprise.
