This semester we have changed the format of our Women in the Shed classes. Instead of a longer course, we are offering two short courses with a focus on building and exploring specific skills ….

Cheese Boards 101

Running from Thursday 1 August for 4 weeks from 10am-12pm, this course will introduce you to hand saws and planes and files, perhaps some drilling … and also teach you about finishing timber - including sanding, staining, oiling etc.

It will set you up to have more confidence to undertake basic timber maintenance or small timber projects around your home.

It costs $145. You can book in here.

Mosaics 101

From Thursday 24 October for 4 weeks from 10am-12pm we’ll be running our Mosaics 101 again. In this course you’ll learn how to tile and grout … super handy skills around the home … whilst making something beautiful! Basic materials are provided, but we encourage you to go to the op shop or dig around at home and find some beautiful patterned ceramics that will make your creation(s) uniquely pop.

Whilst this class will start at the basics for anyone learning new skills - we’re also happy to help you keep exploring the wonderful world of mosaics if you have done it before - and are keen for some company and inspiration.

The cost is $145. You can book in here.

Have you always wanted to document your life through words - to tell your story for your children, or your grandchildren, because you have had a fascinating life … or just a normal one that you’d like to share?

We are excited to have journalist Carmela Ferraro coming to ACC for 4 weeks from Saturday 24 August (10am-12pm) to run Life Journaling - creating the opportunity for people in our community to learn how to start this process. Over the 4 weeks Carmela will guide you through the process - helping you explore your life stages, point you in the direction of resources, help you weave in documents and photos etc. etc.

The cost is $145. Book in here.

Alphington Arts, our new night time arts group will kick off on Thursday 18 July at 7.30pm. The idea behind this group is that we keep costs down by different people sharing their creative knowledge and skills. We’ll have 4 sessions over the coming semester (2 per term).

And first up we’ll be exploring basket weaving with Kayti Murphy. You may have seen Kayti’s baskets at our makers markets - or bought her teatowels and/or pickled radishes.

Thanks so much Kayti for volunteering to share your knowledge and skills.

So … if you are keen to join in you can join up for the semester here.

And then come along for some low key creative evenings. BYO drinks and/or snacks to share if you are so inclined.

Last year our movie club met in the day. This semester we are going to try early evenings.

Our first date will be on Tuesday 16 July. We will meet at Westgarth Cinema (to take advantage of cheap Tuesday tickets) and then go somewhere local to chat about it afterwards - maybe Kelvins?

If you are interested let us know here and we will add you to the WhatsApp group.

We generally find out the exact details of the movie times and what is showing the previous week - so it is a little bit rushed … Note that you are welcome to put your two bobs in if you have a preference for something you want to see.

We hope you can come along!

The Clean Bin Project Film is screening here at ACC on Wednesday 26 June.

Find our more and book tickets at humantix here. There’ll be food and drink - it should be a fun night!

Thanks Village Greening for organising this event.
