Makerspace creative workshop: Beanie or Scarf making with Sentro

Winter Beanie or Cowl Scarf workshop
Saturday, 12 July 2025.
We have a number of the Sentro machines available for workshops just like this. The very handy machines makes creating your beanie or scarf super easy and fun.
Or perhaps you would like to chat about a knitting or crochet project that you are working on at present and share your ideas with others.
Wool and yarns of different textures and colours are available for a small FEE or DONATION. If you prefer, you can bring some supplies you or your friends have at home. Upcycling wool from older knitted clothes is a great idea and helps by bringing a vintage look.
Be as adventurous as you choose, add strips of fabric, denim, threads, buttons or lace to your knitting to make a unique & individual statement.
Circle of Friends would love you to join them on the 4th Saturday each month from 10am.
Do you have interests in a variety of textile and art mediums such as hand stitching, machine sewing, mixed media, design, knitting, crochet, embroidery, weaving, up cycling clothes, recycling textiles or paper and macrame to name a few....

Design and make a Mug Rug
Saturday, 26 July 2025.
What's a Mug Rug I hear you ask? Well basically it's hand made coaster for your hot mugs & cup.
With winter upon us, you can't beat a warm beverage to keep the chills at bay. But we need to protect our beautiful furniture too and make sure we have something under those lovely hot drinks.
What better way to do that than to make your very own designer coaster, often nicknamed a Mug Rug.
