Quarterly Crafternoons Gathering June, 2016

WE DID IT!!
Our sponsorship application has been given a big tick and we now have the funds to continue into the coming year!!
The Warburton and Yarra Junction Community Bank  have pledged $2400 to keep us up and happening. Each year, these finds go to purchasing materials, paying tutors, banners and a little bit of admin.

So on this post I would like to share a little bit of what happened during our June gathering. I wish their was volume because you would hear lots of chatting, lots of laughing and lots of fun.

This gathering was run on just  $56 dollars. Everything I purchase using the sponsorship money stays in craft boxes under my house and are brought to good use every 3 months.

Thank you everyone for joining in and making these gatherings a  joy to facilitate xx

CRAFTY GATHERINGS IN 2016

We are looking forward to re-establishing our crafty community connections after a bit of a break after having to cancel our March gathering. Suddenly life was upon me and I had 4 other things to attend to that week!! So I do apologise- nice to know it was missed though!!

 I am currently waiting with slight desperation to hear if our sponsorship from the Warburton and Yarra Junction Community Banks will be granted. We currently have $11 in the kitty! The sponsorship for these events is the only way we can keep this event free. With Yarra Ranges Council supporting us with a free venue if the event is kept free for participants, a generous contribution to our 'crafting together' cause.

Amanda's card making workshops are always a hit with her technique driven session and quality materials

SO, this Wednesday is our June gathering where we welcome Amanda once again with her beautiful papers and 3D project. We are excited to have the bag- making -mania of Plastic Bag Free Warburton again to spread the word of making Warburton the first Plastic Bag Free town in the Valley. I'll support that thank you very much!

It would be wonderful to our regulars and some new faces. Come along and join in the fun.

QUARTERLY CRAFTERNOONS GATHERING, JUNE 2015

Well, it came.................and it went, just like that! In a blur of felt, soapy bubbles, yarn, threads and fabric, cake and tea, yet another fantastic gathering of crafty folk and this was the best attend one to date.

The Upper Yarra Arts Centre, Mechanics Hall was packed to the rafters and I was buzzing all day. Lots of new and familiar faces passed through the doors this day and everyone left with a smile.

A huge thank you goes to our workshop facilitators who give so much of themselves for these events. All in the name of craft, skills sharing and networking. Thank you to the staff at the Upper Yarra Arts Centre who are so helpful in setting up the way we need and being there throughout the day to help make things run smoothly.  Thank you, thank you.

HAPPY CRAFTING
