Crafting Sustainably with the Guild of Objects

The Guild of Objects, in collaboration with Melbourne-based creatives; Andrea Hughes, Linh Dinh, and Barbara Niglio, bring you a series of workshops under the title "Creating Sustainably."

These workshops aim to showcase how both found and easily accessible objects can be used in the creative practice to make sustainable, beautiful, and often unexpected objects. The objective of this series of workshops is to enable the participant to explore the rich rewards that come from engaging in craft when one is able to fully immerse in the creative process alongside the notion that even when materials are simple in nature and easily found the returned can be deeply satisfying.
