Crafty Community group is a welcoming weekly craft session held at Westall Community Hub in Clayton South. It’s perfect for parents of school-aged children who want a relaxed morning of arts and crafts, skill sharing and a cuppa. Whether you’re finishing a knitting project or helping a child with paper crafts, this is a friendly spot to be creative and meet other local families.
What to Expect
Expect a relaxed, social atmosphere where makers of all levels come together to craft, chat and swap ideas. The sessions are informal and friendly, aimed at community connection, arts and crafts skills and a calm morning out for parents and kids alike.
You’ll see a mix of activities on the tables: knitting, scrapbooking, paper crafts, sewing and simple kids’ crafts. Bring what you’re working on, or try something new with tips from other parents and volunteers.
Sessions are family-friendly and child-conscious, with tea and coffee provided and a focus on practical, easy-to-follow craft activities. It’s a great way to encourage creativity in your children and carve out a creative morning for yourself.
Activity Details
The group meets weekly during school terms on Wednesdays from 09:15 to 12:00. Sessions are drop-in, run by local community volunteers and are suitable for parents with school-aged children who can join in or craft alongside.
What to bring: your own craft materials and any ongoing projects, a small kit for your child if they’re joining, and a reusable cup if you’d like. If you need special tools, members often share and help each other out.
