The Co Work Co in Brunswick

Had a lovely evening last night celebrating the 5th birthday of the Moreland Women’s Network.  It was held at the CoWorkCo studio and is a really great space and the chocolate cake was fantastic too!

 

The Cowork Collective is a coworking, workshop & event studio at 421 Lygon St, Brunswick East in Melbourne’s inner north. It was set up by Bec Mutch, a learning and development gal who’s all about creating environments and experiences that coax big dreams into reality.

The studio and services are designed to support the diverse and vibrant community of members in their first years as freelance creatives, coaches, consultants and solo entrepreneurs.

 

Unlike lots of other coworking and creative studios they intentionally focus on the needs of people who want a flexible, inspiring, well resourced space on a part time basis. Some members have a home office setup and come to  collaborate, connect and work alongside others with the added benefit of being able to hold client meetings outside their home. Others are just getting started and need a flexible space to seed their dream.

When you’re ready to leave the kitchen table behind or you’ve worn out your welcome at your local cafe, contact Bec  to schedule a visit.  They’re always on the lookout for fun and interesting people to join the family, and may even inspire you to greatness.

The Great Stash Swap

The Great Stash Swap is a community driven project created to help reduce piles of excess materials and yarn stashes and bring fresh life to those teetering piles of stash we can so easily end up hoarding.

Over the week of 15-21 August people can drop in their unused material and yarn stashes and swap them for Crafty Bucks, which will be redeemable on Saturday the 22 and Sunday the 23 August for Stash!

Artists in Residence in The Stash!
The Great Stash Swap will also host craft artists every day in the gallery making items from the piles of stash.
The Great Stash Swap will be streamed on the web (www.sayraphimlothian.com/greatstashswap) so participants can watch the space evolve and the artists at work.
Drop your stash from 11am-8pm, Saturday 15 August to Friday 21 August.
The Great Stash Swap opens 10am Saturday 22 August and Sunday 23rd of August. Produced by Sayraphim Lothian

Gallery 314, Church Street, Richmond, VIC 3121 Australia

Craft and Quilts Show Melbourne

A visit to the #CraftandQuiltsShow today to try out the new Toyota embroidery machine #Oekaki. Think I much prefer my #Husqvarna and #Bernina. Lots of people buying lots of stuff. There will be a lot of larger stashes in Melbourne by the end of the weekend!

Book in a Bag Exhibition @ 69 Smith St Gallery

Went to the opening of the members exhibition ‘Book in a Bag’.  Fantastic concept each artist is given a book in a bag and from these two items they create their work.  Some really fantastic pieces – well worth visiting.
