The Knitty-Gritty: cultivating crafty connection one stitch at a time

Calling All Knitters (and wannabe knitters)! 

Bring your needles + wool, your half-finished projects, your queries and questions. We'll stitch along together, troubleshoot some answers, and cheerlead one another. Think of it as a knitty social hour - a chance to chat with fellow woolies and fine-tune some skills.

Community gets stronger, row by row.

Make and Mend

Make + Mend started up in January 2020 as a response to the bushfires that were ravaging our valley and our hearts. It came out of the belief that creation is a powerful antidote to destruction; and out of the necessity to have safe + supportive space to gather and connect during such hard and uncertain times.

We opened up the doors of the old Town Hall Café. We scrounged through our collective cupboards and shared art materials and supplies. We made things, together and separately. 

What grew up from those first few months last summer was a heartfelt, vibrant, connective, and playful community. We met new sides of one another. We shared ideas. We met neighbours we didn't know we had. We held space for stories. We created in a hundred different ways. 

When the pandemic hit late last March and we were no longer allowed to gather together as we had been, we found ourselves re-imagining what connection could mean. We focused on what we COULD still share. We wove a new thread of connection with each other through the weekly sending out of creative prompts and poetry. Over a year later, we are still here. Connected through gathering, through creative ideas, through poetry. 

It’s not rocket science. It’s community. 

On the walls of the Town Hall Café you’ll find an exhibit that attempts to capture some of our story. Our own handmade reflections on what this journey has been; what it has taught us; where it has taken us; on what community means. 

There’s an invitation for you to add yourself to the story. Make a flag – try your hand at origami. 

Everyone is welcome. Together we are making and mending community.
