Brisbane Brown Owls 2012


Are you looking for somewhere funky to 'get your craft on' in 2012? Then you may be interested in joining in all of the crafty fun that goes on at Brisbane Brown Owls. Organised by two of Brisbane's craftiest ladies, Rebecca from edward & lilly and Sam from Jetta's Nest this is one crafty group you will want to be a part of!

Brown Owls meet once a month in various locations throughout Brisbane for a cuppa, a crafty chat and of course to learn a new crafty skill! All are welcome, from beginner crafters to those who are more advanced. The Owls love to meet like minded crafty souls no matter what their skill level!

Amazing.....making macrame owls!
Membership: membership is FREE (Yay!), however, there may be one-off costs associated with special craft-a-long projects. The cost will cover materials etc. You can join at any time during the year by simply emailing Rebecca and Sam at brisbanebrownowls@gmail.com.

Monthly Projects: A lot of people have their own crafty project to bring along to each meet but for those who don't or for those who would like to learn something new there will be an organised craft-along project to participate in each month. In 2012 the Owls will be learning embroidery, crochet, knitting, papercraft, screen printing and lots lots more.


Fancy a spot of embroidery?
Getting Involved: If you are interested in learning a particular craft or sharing your skills by teaching a craft, Rebecca and Sam would love to hear from you! Email them at brisbanebrownowls@gmail.com with your ideas and they'll do their best to make them happen.

Knitting with the Owls!
Information about meet-ups is sent out by email and posted to both the Brown Owls members blog and the Brisbane Brown Owls facebook page. Be sure to check out these pages for all of the latest and greatest info!

Happy Crafting!

Brisbane Brown Owls at the BrisStyle Indie Mother & Child Market

Do you like crafting? Do you like chatting? Would you like to meet like-minded crafty peeps?

Then look no further! We're very excited to announce that the Brisbane Brown Owls group will be crafting away at the BrisStyle Indie Mother & Child Market this weekend!

Brown Owls is a craft group originally created by Pip of Meet Me at Mike's fame in Melbourne. The Brisbane group has been crafting up a storm for the last 3 years, meeting once a month to create, chat and learn new crafty techniques. 

Brown Owls will have their own marquee and tables set up at the market combining crafting and chatting with yummy handmade shopping!


Date: Saturday 8 October
Time: 9am-2pm (drop in any time you can make it, Brown Owls will be there all day)
Venue: St Augustine's Church Hall and Grounds, Racecourse Road, Hamilton.

BYO CRAFT! 

There won't be a craft along project for this special Brown Owls meet up but the Owls will be on hand to answer any of your crafty questions so feel free to bring along your embroidery, knitting, crochet, hand sewing, macrame or anything else you've been working on lately. We'll have the usual Brown Owls stash of extra yarn, fabric, thread, hooks and hoops available on the day. Anyone and everyone is welcome to pop in to the Brown Owls marquee, rest your shoppers feet and craft the day away.


Tea and coffee can be purchased on the day from the local cafes on Racecourse Road. Feel free to show off your baking skills by bringing a plate for morning tea :)
