Nannette Shaw is a Tyereelore Elder from Tasmania with ties to the Boonwurrung/Bunurong people of Southern Victoria. She makes traditional bull kelp water vessels, basket and jewellery in the same way as Tasmanian Aboriginal women in pre-colonial times. This particular woven basket has been hand finished with shells from Flinders Island.

Nannette continues to harvest mainly on Bruny Island Louisa Bay in the south west of Tasmania. This practice connects her to Country and culture, benefits her health and nourishes her soul. Nannette enjoys the sense of connection with her ancestors through her work.
