Welcome

Hope this update finds you all fit and well and gearing up for a busy and productive winter.

I have decided rather than hold off any longer I will let you know about upcoming classes and dates that are confirmed but some are not yet finalised. Some of them are off site and therefore there are many more pieces to pull together. Read more...

Latest Classes, Workshops & Groups

We have just added our latest selection of workshops and for those of you living in metropolitan Melbourne, you will be pleased to know that we are holding classes closer to you - check it out and book now! We are also starting a Spinning Group so if you have a wheel dust it off and join us.

• Pamela Farmer is really upping the ante this year with both repeats (by request) and new classes (such as Feral Knitting—a half day workshop making a funky scarf with fabric and wool), along with a guidance group to help you on your creative journey.

• Lynn Berry will join the team running scrumbling and embellisher classes.

• Carole Redlich and Glenys Hopkins are continuing with classes

• Catherine O'Leary will do a two day workshop helping you to make a felted body wrap.

• Robyn is continuing with her doll classes and techniques and Amanda will be working on felting classes with mums and kids.

As with all our workshops please register your interest even if it is a long way off. We are also happy for people to pay the classes off beforehand if it helps.

Many participants have requested that we provide materials or a kit as sometimes people don't have the time to find things and some products are difficult to track down. We have taken this on board and will endeavour to do so whenever possible. Most costs, as they are shared across the number of participants, will mean it should work out cheaper for you. We will keep the costs as low as possible. For all our new participants please note that the workroom is a perfume free area.

As with any of our workshops, if the day doesn't suit but you are interested please let us know. If we have a waiting list and don't make the numbers we can look at changing the dates, so always register your interest regardless.

Take a look at our upcoming classes! Hope to see you soon.

Unleash your Creative Spirit!
