“connecting our community”
Sarah from Yarra City Council sent through this invitation. It looks fun! You should book in.
On Thursday 25th July from 1 – 3pm, Yarra Aged and Disability Services will host a free jazz concert at Collingwood Town Hall as part of the Leaps and Bounds Festival.
With a focus on older people and people with a disability, this is a great opportunity to get out, hear some live music and have fun. Bookings are essential. See the poster for details.
This semester we have changed the format of our Women in the Shed classes. Instead of a longer course, we are offering two short courses with a focus on building and exploring specific skills ….
Running from Thursday 1 August for 4 weeks from 10am-12pm, this course will introduce you to hand saws and planes and files, perhaps some drilling … and also teach you about finishing timber - including sanding, staining, oiling etc.
It will set you up to have more confidence to undertake basic timber maintenance or small timber projects around your home.
It costs $145. You can book in here.
From Thursday 24 October for 4 weeks from 10am-12pm we’ll be running our Mosaics 101 again. In this course you’ll learn how to tile and grout … super handy skills around the home … whilst making something beautiful! Basic materials are provided, but we encourage you to go to the op shop or dig around at home and find some beautiful patterned ceramics that will make your creation(s) uniquely pop.
Whilst this class will start at the basics for anyone learning new skills - we’re also happy to help you keep exploring the wonderful world of mosaics if you have done it before - and are keen for some company and inspiration.
The cost is $145. You can book in here.
Have you always wanted to document your life through words - to tell your story for your children, or your grandchildren, because you have had a fascinating life … or just a normal one that you’d like to share?
We are excited to have journalist Carmela Ferraro coming to ACC for 4 weeks from Saturday 24 August (10am-12pm) to run Life Journaling - creating the opportunity for people in our community to learn how to start this process. Over the 4 weeks Carmela will guide you through the process - helping you explore your life stages, point you in the direction of resources, help you weave in documents and photos etc. etc.
The cost is $145. Book in here.
