Join Robyn from the Giving Plastic The Flick group for a hands-on workshop making your own wax wraps.
These workshops are a great place to meet new friends and discover 
just how easy it is to make re-usable wax wraps in your own home. You will learn about various methods, what materials you need and where to source products.
We aim to make 4-5 wraps of varying sizes on the day.
Please bring Pieces of fine cotton material. Some suggested sizes are:
Small ( 12x 12 cm), Medium ( 23 x 23 cm), Large ( 33×33 cm).
You may have some at home, or check out Op Shops as they often stock a variety of good material. It must be COTTON, not polycotton. If you are buying from your local fabric supplier, consider 100% cotton Lawn or light sheeting material. You will need to wash and dry your material prior to the workshop. Some material will be available on the day for a donation.
We will have templates to cut if you have larger pieces of material. Bring along Pinking Sheers if you have them.
Herbal teas made from our garden will be available.
Places are limited and bookings essential.
These workshops are all weather events (rain or shine).
This will be a relaxed fun morning.

I was also aware that Deadly Expresso, run by the amazing Terri Waller, Sevgen, was also creating a garden. Apart from pot plants around the cafe Terri had been offered access to the sloping land behind the cafe and with assistance from Pete, had found many native trees to plant. My husband, Dave helped with cutting furrows on contour. We lined these above with branches to slow down water flow and encourage soil development along the contour, ultimately feeding the plants below. Once the heat passes, we’ll look at developing the “vege patch” further with the compost we’re making, weed teas and cover crops.
