Create your own version of our decorative whimsical brooch using felt, wool fabric, beads and embroidery threads. Pleay with the colours and stitches and wear it home.

Class & Kit cost $15

11am-1:30pm ‘Stitched Communal Blanket’

Take a few minutes to sit with us and make your mark in stitch on our communal blanket. Choose some thread and start stitching – we will help you if you need it.

What do you think of when you see an old blanket like this? Does it: connect you to the past; family; snuggling up on sleepovers at Grandma’s house? Share your memories and stories with us.

This is a free activity – eventually this blanket will be used for some community purpose – do you have any ideas?
