A gathering and a learning space...

Monthly Guided Craft Socials: Friday Mornings in Term 4 2020: 

16th October, 13 November and 11 December. 10:30am - 12:30pm

These social workshops are overseen by the lovely and multi-talented Bronnie Zervos, who brings a wealth of crafting and teaching knowledge to help you move forward with your unfinished project, find inspiration/motivation to get started, share tips and tricks, or just converse about crafting in good company.

Suitable for Hand Embroidery, Crochet, Knitting, Hand Sewing, Macrame, Weaving, Jewellery, Polymer Clay and most other hand crafting projects. 

What’s your crafting journey? Did you learn as a child? Have you only just begun? 

Handed down through generations, or a self-discovered passion; Craft as a social activity goes way back in history. The many forms of making with your hands provide a challenge and a focus for both mind and body, as well as a wonderful creative outlet. Making in the company of others lets you share the creative spirit and connect with like-minded people. 

In our busy lives, it can be hard to make time to sit still for more than a couple of minutes and focus, without getting interrupted, so come along and relax your mind as you create, chat and share projects, stories and knowledge in this regular series of Craft Socials. Share your crafting journey, and your crafting dreams.

Materials List

BYO project and materials and a tea or coffee. Bronnie will have a supply of project kits and extra materials available for purchase if required.

Please note this is a social group and not a lesson.  If you would like to learn to crochet or embroidery, please check out our Beginners classes!

A $40 discount on the first session applies if you have attended a Hand Embroidery Intermediate/Advanced, or a Machine Sewing class in the previous term. Email or call us on 9922 2299 for details.
