Beginner sewers and makers are welcome! Serving tea and treats. Only eight spots each week <3 A bit about _in Residence - Over 2025, I set myself the task of becoming my own “artist in residence”, where the act of play was prioritised in my practice, whenever the mood stuck. Permission to create - for no other reason resulted in writing, singing, dancing, working with fabric to make LIMIT garments, poetry, videos, photos, and outfits inspired by a kids dress up box. Learn more about it here. For 2026, and to celebrate 10 years of building community, and nurturing the practice within and surrounding my project "HB Archive”, I am welcoming you into my home / studio, to play, to meet, to listen, to feel. Every Thursday evening in June. The purpose? To be curious, together, and make with our hands. Learning and being. Three hours of play. You are welcome to - Make: Hand sew a fabric scrap collage, draw and write with oil pastels, self guided practice with a project you are working on - bring your small loom, knitting etc. Mend: Bring a clean woven garment from your wardrobe that needs mending. This could be a loose button, a small tear or hole that needs stitching up, even patching. Dress Up: An opportunity to try on HB Archive garments. We can chat wardrobes, and maybe identify what there is too much of, or what is missing. Supplies Sewing and drawing supplies will be provided. Any other special things you’d like to bring to use or share are welcome. * Buy 2 or more tickets and save 5 bucks a ticket! Can be for you and friend/s on the same evening, or if you'd like to come to multiple <3 Discount will automatically be applied at checkout. Please note: Tickets are non-refundable but you are welcome to send someone in your place if you can't end up making it. Email hello@hbarchive.com.au to organise :) Ps.
