Hand Maker's factory has recently moved from kensington to seddon and is situated atop a lovely housewares shop. It is a studio space that empowers people to confidently create in a sustainable way. Young teachers share their knowledge of sewing, knitting, screen printing, macrame and stamp carving amongst many other skills. Alongside their workshops, handcrafted tools, supplies and other items are also on offer via their online store. The studio space is run by the gorgeous entrepreneurial Nicola Prested. This morning I took a three hours long workshop in making a macrame plant hanger. I found free parking easily on a Sunday morning. Booking the class was easy via weteachme.com, and if you book with a friend you get a discount. You may think macrame is just about tying knots but it can be quite meditative. It was a small class of five women located in a bright homely space. We were greeted by two friendly faces, hot cuppas of tea, homemade chocolate zucchini cake and anzac biscuits. We learnt to tie a noose (definitely useful in getting out of life imprisonment) and square knots. Our arms hurt from all the tying but we were persistent. Lots of knots later and our bellies full of goodies, we had gorgeous maiden's fern pots sitting on top of our well tied ropes. We even got an instruction sheet to take with us. Hello etsy here I come. :) Definitely coming back for macrame part two. read more

Yeah, neither have i but at Carlton Arts you can pick up some skills on using the Pottwer's Wheel. At Carlton Arts, they have classes for Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced individuals so get out there and give it a go, it's actually a lot of fun. I attended some classes and have to say i was over joyed with the experienced (i giggled a lot). At first it's hard to pick up the method of sculpting, but as your mum always said; "Practice makes perfect".

I think it was the movie Ghost which made working with clay so popular.

There's even an annual exhibition where you'll get the chance to display your work and hopefully even make a sale or two.
