Are you CRAFTY? We need your HELP!
The Brisbane craft celebration, Saviours of the Lost Arts, is back and we need help from crafty persons! We want to make this year’s program bigger, brighter and better than ever and to do that we need to get lots of crafty people to share their skills and love of craft. We need donations of small crafted items and donations of your time to come and craft in public. If this sounds like you, read on….
YES, I CAN MAKE IT TO KING GEORGE SQUARE ON WEDNESDAY 1 JUNE TO DO CRAFT IN PUBLIC!
Great! If you knit, crochet, tatt, stitch, loom … as long as you can do your craft sitting on a cosy lounge, we want you to be part of our live craft installation. We’ll have couches, chairs and rugs on which you can sit, chat and do your craft in full view of the general public. We want to convert as many Brisbanites to craft as we can in one short day. If you can drop in to the square for an hour or so between 8am-4pm, let us know via email: sotla@brisbane.qld.gov.au or if it gets to the day and you find you can come, just turn up with your craft in hand!
JOIN US FOR MORNING TEA! WEDNESDAY 1 JUNE
We want to say thank you to all the crafters that make Brisbane so vibrant. Be our guest for Morning Tea in the Craft Fair Tea Garden in King George Square at 9.30am, Wednesday 1 June. RSVP sotla@brisbane.qld.gov.au
OH NO, I CAN’T MAKE IT ON THAT DAY
Never mind! If you can’t make it on the day you can still have a little piece of you in King George Square. We are calling out for donations of small crafted items to include in our decoration of King George Square. We would specifically like:
• Any kind and any size of flowers (crochet, knitted, stitched, paper etc)
• Triangular shapes (around 15cm sides) to use as bunting (crocheted, knitted, stitched, paper etc)
