FRIDAY CRAFTERNOON

Our little group is a steady 4-5 ladies at the moment, with different people available on different weeks. We meet every 2 weeks, with the venue changing depending on who can make it.  AT the moment we have a few people not online so we call around if location changes, so please, if you are interested, connect with us on Facebook so we  can be sure to let you know if there is a change of plans.

Next meeting 29 July at Anna's Cafe Around the Corner in Cronulla.  Check Facebook for any changes.

Happy crafting....

FRIDAY CRAFTERNOONS

Friday Crafternoons are set to warm up your winter.... Friday May 20 will be the kick off night and I hope a few people can make it from 4-7.  Please go to the Facebook page to RSVP and see the venue (that is yet to be confirmed).

All welcome with whatever portable crafts you can bring along. 

Hope to see you there!

Now on Facebook

We now have a little page on Facebook.....  Go across, search for "Cronulla Crafters" and we will come up.

Now if you want to share ideas, patterns or chat, you can go there directly.  To get started, hop on and introduce yourself, even if you don't go to the Wednesday meetings.  

In 2011, hopefully we will be spreading our wings and taking some little excursions or doing some KIP'ing (knitting in pub(lic)) while it's still warm....

Happy crafting ;-)

Thank you to all our crafters who have met and made friends in 2010.

The group will meet again on the usual 2nd & 4th Wednesday of the month from JANUARY 12 at 1.30pm....

All new crafters are welcome at any time - see you in 2011!!

SUGGESTED OUTING - WED Dec 15 - 1.30pm

*** Meet at Hazelhurst to see exhibition. Bring along your yarn and needles if you want to stay and work on your projects with the group

HANDS ON: CRAFT IN CONTEMPORARY ART

4 December 2010 – 29 January 2011

Hands On is an exhibition of works by contemporary artists who use hand

crafts as tools of expression in their practice. The show incorporates a

rich variety of materials, including recycled plastics, yachting ropes, yarn,

human hair, leather, recycled fabrics and natural grasses. From knitting

and leather craft to tapestry and weaving, an array of unlikely or even

denigrated methods are used with great skill, and often wit, to produce

works of depth, meaning and cultural relevance.

Organised by Hazelhurst Regional Gallery & Arts Centre. Curated by Cash Brown.

Knitting & Crocheting Circle at Cronulla Library

A lovely, multicultural group of crafters of all ages have been meeting at Cronulla Library to share an afternoon of knitting, crocheting, talking, sharing and laughing.

2nd & 4th Wednesday of the month, 1.30 - 3pm

Bring some wool and needles or hook, take a seat and enjoy. It is always free and you are always welcome.

Astrid is the library contact and she can answer all your questions. There are always loads of books to borrow or refer to for ideas or techniques and you will always find someone in the circle who can help you through a difficult stitch.

Are you a complete beginner? Come along - this is not a class and there are no teachers but with the right attitude, you will pick it us quickly and with plenty of people to help you along.

See you soon!!!
