Duck n Weave Publishing is the passion project of Niccy Pallant and Donna Gordge. We met as teachers working in outreach programs, helping disengaged secondary students find their path in life. A lot of our experiences there have informed our work in the arts since. We both enjoy building up others through mentoring and the sharing of knowledge. The next step for us has been to develop Duck n Weave Publishing so we can share the tools that we’ve used, and encourage stronger creative communities.
Our Mission
Duck n Weave Publishing is dedicated to encouraging creativity, personal growth, and community building. Our company draws upon Niccy and Donna’s shared experiences as educators and artists to provide resources that inspire, motivate, and empower individuals to discover their potential. We are committed to creating tools that promote self-discovery, learning, and collaboration, with the ultimate goal of strengthening communities of creative practitioners.
Our mission is to:
- Promote self-discovery and learning by offering tools that encourage introspection, goal-setting, and accountability.
- Cultivate a strong sense of community among creative practitioners by sharing knowledge, experiences, and best practices.
