Bring your own materials, or work with some of the existing materials supplied by each workshop host. There will be a focus on reuse and repurpose of materials, so keep in mind we would like you to contribute!
Bring your own: plastic shopping bags, red yarn, toilet paper rolls, old toy parts, crochet hooks, weaving materials, and icy pole sticks
Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 September 11-3pm
we will be hanging out in the park, chatting and making.
Drop in at any time, and join in on a variety of workshops!!
