Looking for something to keep you out of mischief? We thought as much. That's why we have rounded up a variety of workshops that will see you putting your creativity to good use...

Weaving

We first met Maryanne Moodie for her week in pictures. Good news – she's visiting from New York and hosting a workshop! This 3 hour session is aimed at intermediate weavers. Learn how to finish your weaves with finesse and aspire to make pieces that are unique.

When: 26th February (no time to lose!)

Ceramic Bowl Painting 

The jist of this one is that self-taught artist, Bonnie Hislop, provides one of her adorable ceramic bowls, and you're allowed to run riot with paints. Sounds like a hoot, right? You can also learn about basic processes, and in two weeks time collect your very own ceramic piece.

When: 19th March
Where: Brisbane

Block Printing 

We're big fans of Megan Morton's The School – a creative hub that plays hosts to a number of talented individuals and provides a space for their tutelage. This workshop hosted by Joanna Fowles sees participants create their own set of napkins and a tea towel. Apparently it's very addictive and a lot of fun. We believe it!

When: 13th March

Extreme Knitting 

Fibre Artist Jacqui Fink is another longtime favourite at Temple & Webster. In this workshop, you'll knit a 3 metre long scarf from high grade Australian Merino wool. Disclaimer: this is probably not the sort of knitting your Grandma does, unless your Grandma is really, really cool.

When: 23rd July
Where: Brisbane

Flower Arranging

Candle Making

We all love candles. Especially Elise. Elise Pioch Balzac is the French-born mastermind behind Maison Balzac. In one of her workshops, you'll pour your very own candles using Elise's hand mixed scents. Simply bring your own jar, ceramic pot or tumbler. The candle makes for a great gift, too!
