Meetings

 

Branch Meetings: Hel on the second Monday of every month at 7pm (except December and January). 

We meet online using the Zoom platform.

Throughout the year we host Guest Speakers presenting a diverse range of topics.  

Past Guest Speakers include:

1. Feisty Tasmanian promotes the growing of Tasmanian edible native plants.  Rees Campbell showcases Tasmania's amazing botanical larder. 

2.  Tender Funerals Tasmania is a not-for-profit funeral service that ensures that those experiencing financial hardship or distress are able to access personalised, meaningful and affordable funerals. Providing community education and empowerment around after death care. 

3.  Cancer Council Tasmania a charity working to minimise the incidence and impact of cancer on all Tasmanians. On average, over nine Tasmanians are diagnosed with cancer each day. 

We learn handcrafts, traditional and emerging, as well as sharing other subjects of interest. 

Some of our craft activities have included:

1.  How to Furoshiki - The Japanese art form of wrapping using cloth

2.  The Heart of Friendship - A Branch project of slow stitching a heart to gift to a fellow member.  Each heart tells the story of the meaning of friendship.

3. Ephemeral Art project using materials found in nature.

We encourage building friendships outside of the group dynamics of Zoom by meeting for brunch or lunch periodically.
