About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A HEAVILY DISCOUNTED PILOT EVENT AS I WOULD LOVE YOUR FEEDBACK. IT IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE RUN IT SO THE COST IS JUST TO COVER MATERIALS, BOOKING FEES AND INSURANCE.

Join us at Albany Creek Library on Tue 28 May 2024 at 3:30PM for a fun and creative event where you and your child can learn the basics of embroidery together and each create a work of art.

Who is this workshop for?

This hands-on workshop is perfect for beginners who would like to learn the basics of hand sewing coil baskets and bowls.

I will discuss materials and technique and you will come away with a small trinket bowl and the tools and knowedge to create a bigger bowl/basket.

This workshop includes all materials for your small bowl and the start of your bigger bowl and you keep your needle so you can keep going if you do not finish within the period of the workshop.

NOTE FOR PARENTS/ GUARDIANS : Parents, I hold a Blue Card and will be taking your phone details and emergency information. You are welcome to stay with your child in the room to help them with their project. If you prefer, you can also stay on site in the main library area where we can easily reach you if needed. If you would like to participate, there is a ticket option for this as well.

Parents are welcome to attend with their children for free or can purchase a parent and child ticket to participate in the craft activity to make their own item. * Parents must stay on site for the duration of the class so we can reach them easily.

What is included?

I provide all materials and instruction and cool drinks. You can take home your needle and bowls.

What is a crafternoon?

It was so hard choosing a name for my business as the words ‘craft’ ‘art’ ‘painting’ etc all come with their own images in our head. Crafting for many, conjures up images of paddle pop sticks or scrapbooking paper. Art is something we think only artists can make or it makes people stressed that what they create is not good enough. A lot of people also feel to paint, draw or sculpt you need to be an expert.

I want to change these views by making creating fun and something everyone feels safe to do. At Crafternoons with Kirst we offer workshops for a variety of people to explore different creative mediums. It is my aim for everyone who attends my workshops to take away:

  • New skills you can take away and use again
  • A piece of work you are proud of
  • New connections
  • A smile : -)

I run a variety of workshops year-wide in various venues around Brisbane and the Gold Coast but we can also come to you! Please contact me about a private workshop for
