Crafternoons- Hobart
2026-01-02 14:30 - 16:30 UTC | Working it Out Inc, 278, North Hobart, TAS, 7000
Feel free to bring your own arts/crafts supplies, and we’ll also have some basic art supplies here (paper, pencils etc.), as well as things like colouring books. You don’t have to be skilled at art/crafts to join in, and don’t have to participate in creative things at all. It’s all about lowering the barriers to creative hobbies, mucking about with arty things in a relaxed environment, and having a go 😊. All sexualities, genders and identities are welcome.

Please Note this is for people aged 18 years and older.

Some benefits of a creative space:• Something to do with your hands while you navigate the treacherous world of small talk (and an excuse to not do much of it if you’re ‘in the zone’ 😉) – also if you don’t know what to talk about, you can always ask someone questions about what they’re working on!• Good for mental health – if you like mindfulness, this is a great way to engage with that, and if you don’t like mindfulness, it can just be fun getting creative 🙂• Maybe you can start working on something for the TasPride Artfully Queer Art Exhibition and Arts Program (10th – 26th October 2025) The theme this year is RESISTANCE and they accept all art, craft and design mediums in the exhibition. 👀• You can try some new ways of being creative in a safe, supportive environment, or pick up an old hobby you abandoned years ago• You can share your creative knowledge and skills with others• It’s fun!

From Friday, December 6th Crafternoons will operate from 2:30 pm – 4:30 pm! For more info contact Kai at Kai@workingitout.org.au or contact us at info@workingitout.org.au or call 03 6231 1200
