Are you keen to join our Women in the Shed program for 2023? We’re now taking bookings for Term 1 and Term 2. Just head to our website here to book in.

It is a wonderful 6 week program that runs on Thursdays for 6 weeks. In the course you will be introduced to all the basic tools in a shed and will get to practise using them across a series of projects.

So … you’ll finish the course with a whole lot of new skills, loads of confidence and some lovely creations.

Women in the Shed is run by Maylei Hunt and is a really popular program. So if you are interested to join up you should book in sooner rather than later! If you miss out on a place, please email us at info@alphington.org.au and we will be able to add you to the waiting list.

Term 3 of Women in the Shed starts today - this Thursday at 10am. This program is fully booked again for this term and next - it is wonderful that we have so much consistent interest from our community!

We are also starting up our AAA Arts program on Fridays from 1pm. This course will combine painting, print making and woodwork and will be led by Clare with help from Corrado who has recently started volunteering with us on Fridays.

It is a free access all abilities program (please note that carers will need to stay and help if needed) that is kindly supported by our lovely Community Bank friends just down the road in Clifton Hill.

Our Women in the Shed program run by Maylei is a short course that introduces you to all the tools typically found in a home garage - through a series of practical projects. Jump online and join in this award winning and wonderfully empowering program.

We have two spots left for Term 3 and usually it is fully booked. So if it is something you have always wanted to do then here is your chance.

Term 3 begins on Thursday July 28th at 10am - 2pm.

Term 4 begins on Thursday October 20th at 10am-2pm.

The course runs for 6 weeks and costs $90 with Learn Local funding supporting the program.

Derek’s key hook project is complete! Just in time for the school holiday break … ACC will be closed for two weeks.

Our new program will be out Monday and we’ll be taking bookings from Wednesday for next term. We’ve got some great things coming up including Women in the Shed for term 3 and 4, Cultural Cooking with Manu, stitching sessions with Serene …and more.

We’ll be back on deck on Monday 11 July. See you then! Happy mid year holidays.

We were a bit sad to see that someone had damaged our seed library a few weeks ago … but super pleased to have Corrado and Max on the job on Friday to cut some new Perspex and repair the door for us.

Thanks!
