Running a creative business, working in the arts or simply making things can sometimes feel a little lonely. The Dear Friend Workshop is a Christmas goal-setting and letter-writing morning for Sydney’s creative community!
Come celebrate everything you achieved in 2026, set your intentions for 2027, get creative with your hands and leave with a new creative friend in your corner :)
After a few wonderful years of our informal Creative Christmas Catch-Ups, this year we’re making things a little more structured: two hours, two hands-on workshops, all at the big pink shop in Annandale!
This two hour class includes:
10am – 11am: Leather A6 Journal Workshop (led by Hermit Studios)
* Make your own leather A6 journal from scratch
* Learn simple leatherworking and binding techniques
* Walk away with a journal ready to fill with your plans for 2027
11am – 12pm: Guided Letter-Writing Workshop (led by Lucy from Studio Inner West)
* Reflect on and celebrate your 2026 wins
* Set your 2027 goals with guided prompts
* Get paired with a fellow creative and write them a letter
Numbers are capped at 16 so everyone gets the chance to properly connect!
Whether you’re an artist, maker, creative professional, workshop host or simply someone who loves making things and meeting new people, there’s a seat at the table for you!
Come on your own or bring a friend. Just come as you are!
