Love making? Got a project you’re working on and keen to get out of the house?

Come along to a new series of free creative making sessions, ‘Hands-In-The-Hanger-With-Headphones’ taking place as part of RMIT University and Merri-bek City Council’s collaborative project – ‘Circular Campus to Community’.

From April to July 2026, sessions will be held for anyone keen to focus on their making and handcraft projects alongside other creatives.

These sessions are open to all RMIT students, staff, as well as anyone living, working or just visiting Merri-bek.

The Hands-In-The-Hanger-With-Headphones sessions are a wonderful opportunity to bring your projects to life in a calm and collaborative environment and share ideas with likeminded creatives.

Light refreshments will also be provided at each session.

What to bring:

You should bring along your own hand-worked projects, such as any type of hand sewing, knitting, crochet patchworking, embroidery and/or mending.

Other basic equipment and supplies you need should also be brought such as scissors, tape etc.

Feel free to bring your headphones and music along to- no pressure to talk!
