Manual Arts Collective is a loose collective of people interested in regaining and growing our ability to do stuff with our hands; making and mending lasting, meaningful things; and connecting with people in our community.

I am the convener, organising small workshops and “making parties” sporadically at my house with the help of guest teachers and friends.  Since its inception in 2013 we have covered:

Rag Rug Making
Knife Sharpening
Door Snake Making
Don’t Be A Drill Baby
Oven Mitt Making
Lantern Making for Kids
Soap Making
70s Dress Up Macrame and Fondue Soiree
Knot Tying
Baskets Three Ways
Fruit Tree Pruning
Letter Writing

There have been very few injuries (sorry Jayga).

If you’re in Perth and would like me to add you to my email list for when I send occasional invitations, I’d be happy to, just send me an email: karen@luckyprojects.com.au .
