Don’t just scroll you life away, learn to make something with your hands instead! In this relaxed, hands-on session, you’ll learn how to weave your own upcycled textile piece using nothing but scrap materials, scissors, and a humble piece of cardboard. Yep, we’re keeping it so, mindful, low-key and lo-fi but the results are surprisingly stellar! You’ll be guided step-by-step through setting up your DIY loom, choosing textures and colours, and weaving a piece that’s truly your vibe. Whether you’re a fibre art first-timer or just want a mindful break from the capitalist grind, this is your invitation to slow down, stitch by stitch. This workshop is about sustainability, creativity, and cozy crafty energy: no experience necessary, just curiosity and good vibes!

What you'll get

- All materials you’ll need are provided

- Guidance and support to complete your own woven piece

- Your finished artwork to take home and hang with pride

Knowledge required

What to bring

- Clothes you don’t mind getting a little fuzzy

Work-Shop is a creative concept that will broaden your horizons and help you unleash your inner awesome. We provide affordable short courses in life skills and alternative art. We’ve teamed up with Australia’s brightest creative minds to share their knowledge and help teach you a new skill. From 3D printing and stencil art through to music and gardening – life skills and personal development through to cooking doughnuts and mushroom foraging, we offer a broad range of fun and creative short courses to suit our time poor lives. We will inspire you to pick up that pen, paintbrush, hammer or sewing machine and flick the switch that will kickstart a whole new way of life.
Community values lie at the heart of our project. We collaborate with local artists and industry experts to teach classes and utilise local suppliers for any materials needed. We also provide a creative environment for emerging artists to produce and sell work, and meet like minded individuals. Work-Shop will be a space for everyone, with a rotating schedule of art shows, information nights on local issues and a whole range of events and community initiatives.
