If you went through a beading phase as a kid, this will be nicely nostalgic for you. If not, it's an easy skill to pick up. This workshop is high on vibes and low on technical difficulty.
Shop Gal (your venue) consists of several spaces. Downstairs is the shop space, as well as an outdoor courtyard out the back. Upstairs you’ll find an open-plan events space, including a kitchen. This space has wooden floorboards and arched windows looking out over Johnston St. You may quickly drop food off earlier to be kept in the fridge, as long as this is arranged prior. During the event, feel free to chill drinks/food in the fridge and use the ice/ice bucket provided.
We will have furniture set up for you, with tables and stools for everyone to sit/work at, plus a wall-to-wall couch under the windows for guests to relax on (we just ask that you try not to spill anything on the fabric!).
Chat to us privately about food/drinks/decorations.

Fencesitter was founded (by accident) in 2018, when Heather McNab decided to try her hand at replicating the Picasso-style face earrings she was seeing at every chain store in Adelaide. Armed with pliers and Bunnings fencing wire, she developed her own craft and style and started selling bespoke wire earrings at local markets. This hobby grew and, post-covid, graduated to teaching. Heather has taught thousands of budding jewellery makers over the years, making finished products ranging from technical wire pieces to charm necklaces and bracelets. Our workshops vary in difficulty, but even our most challenging workshops are aimed at beginners. A reformed perfectionist (in progress), Heather understands how intimidating trying a new skill can be and is well-versed in helping students get over mental hurdles.
Fencesitter has crafted custom pieces for State Opera of South Australia and Monarto Zoo, and was lucky enough to feature in the Shameless Gift Guide in 2020. Fencesiter workshops are frequently booked as Hens activities or for corporate activations. Keep us in mind for your next private event!
Don't think of yourself as crafty? Fencesitter begs to differ.
