“connecting our community”
Join us for lunch this week on Thursday at 12.30pm. $15. Book in on our website here.
Last week we had potato and leek soup with crusty bread, and cookies and coffee, and immersed ourselves in drawing for an hour.
We started with a piece of broken willow pattern crockery and extended the picture out from it on paper, using markers and pencils.
It was low key and chatty and very relaxing!
This week we’ll be eating a pasta bake and using the easels. Take a break from the every day and come along!
Our AAA Arts group is having a great time on Fridays this term, working together on an outdoor timber sculpture to brighten up our garden beds on the corner.
The project is utilising scrap timber offcuts, and there has been lots of painting, followed by drilling and screwing going on.
It is fabulous to see participants being so creative, learning new skills and gaining confidence to do new things. We’re very fortunate to have great support for this program with Corrado and Hazel volunteering weekly. It makes such a difference to what we can offer activity-wise.
Keep an eye on our gardens over the next few weeks if you are passing by - to admire the results!
With the kitchen all organised, we are getting back to our monthly preserving and jamming activities.
If you like cooking (and talking while you cook!) we’d love you to join us this Tuesday 21 May from 1-3pm for preserves group.
This month we are celebrating autumn and making beetroot relish. If we have time we may also make some preserved lemon.
Bring your apron. We should have everything else here.
Also … if you have excess fruit or veggies growing in your garden we always love donations … we can use them for our community lunches, for preserving and jamming and can also pass them on to the community or the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre.
This coming week is Neighbourhood House Week!
And in a happy coincidence we are starting up three new programs. Such great timing … we should be claiming that it was all deliberate and such, so … let’s just say the universe operates in fortuitous ways (despite our actual lack of planning and foresight)!?!
If you like, you too can join in on the good luck/happenstance vibe that we’re emanating and come along!
10.30am Monday - Grandparents and Carers Playgroup
$10 weekly for a structured playgroup session, all welcome but ideal for grandparents and carers. Book in online here.
1pm Monday - Mosaics Workshop
$120 for 4 weeks. Learn about tiling and grouting and the same time make some beautiful art. Basic tools and materials provided. I think Lee is starting off with house numbers and/or coasters. Book in online here.
12.30pm Thursday - Crunch (creative lunch)
$15 weekly. Get fed! Get creative! Leanne’s cooking. Lee’s making art. Come along for an hour or so of creative escapism, then get on with rest of your day. Please book in online (so we know who is coming). Just click here.
Feeling creative? Or do you have a tiling project at home and don’t know where to start? Join Lee in the community shed and learn the basics of tiling through mosaics.
Practise cutting tiles, spacing tiles, gluing tiles and grouting … all the skills you will need to complete that kitchen splashback at home … or maybe something even fancier!
Alternatively you can just come along to spend time being creative and making something gorgeous for your house or garden.
$120 for 4 weeks. Basic materials provided.
Starting Monday 13 May from 1-3pm.
