Burnie Crafternoons
2030-07-19 14:00 - 16:00, 2030-08-16 14:00 - 16:00 UTC
Crafternoons in Burnie!

Feel free to bring along your own arts/crafts supplies, and we will also have some basic supplies (paper, pencils, colouring books). You don’t have to be skilled at art/crafts to join in, and you don’t have to participate in the creative things at all – it’s all about coming together to chat while lowering the barriers to creative hobbies and mucking about with some arty things in a relaxed environment – so come have a go.

All sexualities, genders and identities are welcome. Please note this event is for people aged 18 years and older.

This event will be held at 2:00-4:00pm on the third Friday of every month, with our first event happening on Friday 20th March!

If you would like to donate art/craft supplies but can’t make it to the event, please get in touch.

Held at the Burnie Working It Out office – 29 Wilson Street (right next door to Bento).

If you have any questions, please reach out to Garry – garry@workingitout.org.au

Crafternoons Online Only

WIO Crafternoons are a space for anyone over 18 from the LGBTQIA+ community (allies are also welcome) to come and hang out in a chill space and be creative 😊

The 1st Friday of each month is an in-person/online hybrid event, and the 3rd Friday is online-only. Our in-person Crafternoons are held at the North Hobart office (278 Argyle Street).

For our in-person events, you’re welcome to bring your own arts & crafts supplies, or you can use the bits and bobs we have here (colouring books, paper, pencils, origami paper etc.), and all skill levels are welcome 🙂

Accessibility info for in-person Crafternoons:

Whilst the building is generally wheelchair accessible for manual wheelchairs, unfortunately the crafternoon space will probably be a bit tricky to navigate, especially if we have a lot of people 🙁

There’s one disability/accessible car spot at the back for anyone who needs to be dropped off/picked up

We have an accessible toilet for people to use

It’s a food-free space, but people can eat outside the room if need-be i.e. in the kitchen area

You don’t have to have your camera or mic on if you’re attending online

You don’t have to stay for the whole 2 hours, and can also turn up partway through

You’re welcome to take breaks if you need to, and for people attending in person, the front room with the comfy couches should be free if anyone needs a break from the socialising for a bit 🙂

We’ll have an air filter in the room, and you can wear a mask if you feel more comfortable (I usually wear one as well)

* Also, if you’re coming in-person, you’ll be visible on the webcam for people attending online, but I hide it from our view, so that you won’t be staring at yourself – please consider whether you feel comfortable with this before attending. Crafternoons are never recorded, but I want to give people a heads up about being visible on a webcam

If you have any accessibility-related enquiries, need more info, need the link for attending online, or would like to join the mailing list, please contact Kai at kai@workingitout.org.au 😊
