Join us for Fibre & Friends, a full-day celebration of creativity, community, and conscious making. Bring along your own projects and connect with fellow makers across all skill levels and disciplines – whether you're into sewing, knitting, mending, embroidery, crochet, or just curious to learn. It's a chance to share ideas, pick up new skills, and be inspired by others in a relaxed, inclusive space. You'll find dedicated tables hosted by skilled creatives, a community upcycled haberdashery (koha-based), and plenty of tea, coffee, and good chats. This is a zero-waste-friendly, BYO lunch event with koha entry.
