IMPORTANT UPDATE We have shortened and postponed this workshop based on community feedback. We heard from too many people that they were very interested in the workshop but found it hard to commit to two days and were a bit worried about the cost. The workshop is now on a Sunday afternoon only, after the school holidays and long weekend, and reduced the suggested amount to $45. We also really welcome you to Pay What You Can. We just want you to come!
Camille Monet and Alisoun Neville invite you to gather together in Cowes for a heartwarming community workshop where our elders and young ones create handcrafted dolls in the beloved Mirka Mora style, sharing stories, laughter, and traditions that connect and celebrate. More than just crafting, this workshop is about belonging—welcoming all identities and stories and enjoying the richness of diverse experiences through creativity. Chosen family, elders, and young ones very welcome. Come with someone special or on your own!
