WORKSHOPS + EVENTS

Families with school-aged children (ages 7-12) are invited for a morning of upcycle crafting! This program is supported through the City of Victoria's My Great Neighbourhood. Guardians must be present for the entirety of the workshop. Join us every last Saturday for different instructors and crafts with repurposed supplies!

ABOUT THIS MONTH’S CRAFT: Whether it comes to making a pie lattice or darning a sock, weaving is something that can play a larger part in our lives than we’re letting it. This workshop will teach participants how to make a loom from simple materials we all have lying around, and how to weave something from almost nothing.
