Makers & Creators
Makers & Creators is a group for creative thinkers who love making!
Our workshop sessions encompass all aspects of making from traditional crafts to 21st Century skills. There is something for everyone.
We hold our sessions at Kiama and Gerringong libraries, and encourage the curious and creative from 15 to 115 years old to come along and take part in the magic of making.
Our sessions are casual, judgement-free, and instil a love of lifelong learning. No experience necessary.
Cost is on a per session basis and varies depending on materials supplied.
Bookings essential as places are strictly limited. See event booking page for details.
