Fly Me to The Moon Recycled Paper Workshop
The team from Umcebo Design is excited to be holding their second workshop in collaboration with Manna Café.
Upon arrival, participants will be welcomed with a refreshing drink.
Participants will have the opportunity to craft a beautiful mobile using recycled paper and string, featuring celestial elements like the moon and stars.
This artistic project is not only perfect for creating home-made Christmas gifts, but also for gaining a valuable craft skill that can be applied to various creative endeavours and shared with loved ones. As you work on your craft, enjoy a cup of coffee and a muffin.
In the spirit of giving, if you book and, for any reason, need to cancel your reservation, your fee will go toward sponsoring a homeless bookseller from the Hurley Centre to attend this event.
Where: Manna Café, Glenwood.
When: Friday, November 10, at 10am to 1pm.
