$13 per class (term payment) or $15 casual, inc GST
Join other parents and crafty locals for a relaxed scrapbooking session designed to spark creativity and preserve family memories in Mordialloc. This welcoming group suits middle-aged parents of school-aged children who want a creative outlet, social company, and practical tips for organising photos and mementos.
You’ll find a cosy, social atmosphere where people of all skill levels gather to work on albums, cards and memory projects. The tone is friendly and encouraging, so even if it’s been years since you crafted, you’ll feel right at home and inspired to create keepsakes for your children and family.
Sessions run monthly and are flexible — drop in for an hour between school drop-off and pick-up, or stay most of the day if you need focused craft time. The group encourages sharing techniques, tools and ideas, which is great for parents wanting fresh inspiration for family scrapbooks and school-photo displays.
Bring your own materials and projects. Helpful items many parents bring include:
- Photos and mementos
- Paper, adhesives and basic tools
- Trimmers, pens and embellishments
The group meets on a Saturday each month with general opening hours from 10:00 to 18:00, though some dates begin at 11:00; check the timetable before you travel. It’s an informal community craft class where you manage your own project pace and collaborate with others when desired.
This is perfect for parents who want a creative morning or afternoon while meeting neighbours and swapping scrapbooking techniques. The session structure is informal — there’s no strict lesson plan, but experienced crafters often share tips on layout, journalling and album organisation.
All ages of school-aged children are welcome to be the inspiration for your projects, but this session is primarily for adults. The environment suits parents who value creative self-care, memory keeping and community connection.
Sessions are held at Mordialloc Neighbourhood House, 457 Main Street, Mordialloc 3195 — a central spot with cafes and shops nearby so you can combine craft time with a coffee or an errand. The venue notes wheelchair access and proximity to train and bus stops, making it easy for parents using public transport.
Consider walking, cycling or catching public transport to avoid parking stress; the neighbourhood house is close to local transport links and family-friendly amenities. If you do drive, there are nearby parking options but spaces can be limited on market days.
The venue provides a comfortable, community-centre setting with tables and a social layout ideal for spreading out projects, chatting and having a cuppa between pages.
Bring your own materials and ongoing projects — this is a BYO session so have your photos, albums and adhesives ready. If you’re new, consider bringing some basic tools (paper trimmer, adhesive tape, pens) and any decorations you like to use for family keepsakes.
Cost and booking details vary; casual and term payment options are available — see the booking section for exact pricing and how to reserve a spot. Spaces can fill for popular dates, so booking ahead is recommended for parents planning around school commitments.
The group is informal but friendly; it’s a good idea to arrive a little early if you need help setting up, and be prepared to share tips and social time with other parents who enjoy craft and memory keeping.
Fees are listed as $13 per class when paying for the term up front or $15 casual, inc GST. Payment and booking are managed through the Mordialloc Neighbourhood House website or by contacting the house directly for assistance with term enrolment.
You can reserve a spot via the Mordialloc Neighbourhood House website or phone — booking ahead helps if you need a guaranteed workspace during school-term weekends. Term payments reduce the per-class cost and are useful for parents planning regular monthly craft time.
If you’re unsure whether to commit, try a casual session first and then switch to term payment if it suits your family schedule. The relaxed, supportive environment makes it easy to fit scrapbooking into busy parent routines, and it’s a lovely way to preserve family memories and develop craft skills.
