Make Stuff! Yeah, that's right!
Sunday, March 2
1:00pm-4:00pm
the workroom
1340 Queen Street West
www.theworkroom.ca
It's cold, and it's going to snow again but we must forge ahead and anticipate the warm days to come… So, what I'm saying is that we should all come together with some tea and needles – of varying sizes and material and make stuff!
What better place to do this than the west end's favorite craft space, the workroom (1340 Queen St. West) and what better day and time than Sunday, March 2 from 1pm – 4pm?
This will be a casual craft-on so bring whatever projects need finishing before the spring. Also, I'd like to throw out a biggish project idea for said spring/summer. That said, anyone with experience or an interest in public art (read: guerilla art/gardening) is welcome to come out and contribute to the discussion.
Furthermore, happening this very weekend at said favorite craft space….Quilt Sunday Meeting & Craft Materials Swap brought to you by the workroom (1340 Queen St. West) & City of Craft! Here's the official blurb:
Quilt Sunday meeting - 1-3pm
Calling all patchworkers and quilters! Join us for a monthly gathering to share our love of all things quilty and to ogle each others' projects (and fabrics). This is a great opportunity to bring out those unfinished objects (UFO's) you've been meaning to work on. Quilt Sunday is the last Sunday of the month.
BONUS EVENT: Craft Materials Swap 3:30 - 5pm
Brought to you by the workroom and City of Craft...
Start your spring cleaning early! Craft supplies of many sorts are welcome, but for this first swap, we have a sense that fibrous stuff will take centre stage (fabric, yarn, textiles...). It's also a give what you can, take what you need kind of set-up so don't worry if your contributions are low. We have a bunch of fabric & yarn graciously given to us by Laura-Jean at Fresh Baked Goods and Haley at Knitomatic that will surely get the wheels rolling.
Leftovers go to local charity groups.
Destash, re-stash and mingle. What fun!

We're a small (and growing)
grassroots crafty collective rebelling against the culture of
mass production. Not only are the things we create our own, but in this
glossy, fabricated world, the simple act of creation is transcendent (i.e., we make things because
it makes us happy).
