Wellington Craftivism Collective: January 2012

Stitch 'n' Bitch- 1st ever Monthly Meet Up

So we thought that it was about time that we arranged an actual regular meet up,

so here it is!

Wellington Craftivism Collective will now be meeting on the 1st Monday of every month from 5-8pm (with a view for other meet-ups too).

Bring Vegan nibbles to share, what ever you are working on, some crafty bits and bobs and your inspiration. We have heaps of fabric and wool and things to share. If you you think that you can't sew or knit or whatever- you can, you just haven't learnt yet! Come and make a patch for the Giant 'Occupy' Blanket or get into making some yarn bombing masterpieces!

Everyone very welcome ♥

Occupy Your Ears Patch Making

Here are some photos from our Occupy your ears CD launch and Patch making workshop!

An excellent day was had by all and we recruited many new craftivists!
Copies of the Occupy your Ears CD are now available for FREE at Freedom Shop and Baobab, both on Riddiford Newtown.

Check out the Facebook page here or leave your email address below if you would like to buy a copy.

Stay turned for the official night time launch party news!

Blanket Man Limited Edition Prints

We are very pleased to have had 10 original and signed limited edition stencil prints by Carl "NAIS" Nansett, featuring the late Ben Hana (aka Blanket Man)

Blanket Man led quite and extraordinary life and will be missed by many Wellingtonians and New Zealanders alike following his recent death.

The prints are a mere $50 each and all proceeds will go towards the Wellington Craftivism Collectives new Streets Outreach project... more info on this one coming soon.

Please leave your email address below if you wish to purchase one of the prints.

Kiwiburn festival 'Craft-a-Patch Workshop'

Thanks to all the beautiful people from all over the country, and indeed the world who came and hung out with us and made a patch at Kiwiburn Festival. It was awesome to have such an amazingly positive response and to make global contacts!
