Sixth Makers Club: Women's Art Club 🎨

FAQs

• What is Sixth Makers Club?

  Sixth Makers Club is a creative social club for women in southeast Melbourne who want to make something and meet new people. Each meetup is relaxed and welcoming, with art, craft, sewing, embroidery, jewellery making and more in a shared space. If you're making something with your hands, you are more than welcome here!

• Why is it called Sixth Makers Club?

  The club is named after my Nan, June, because June is the sixth month of the year. I pitched the idea to her that I would call it 'June's Makers Club' and she hated it, so we went with our second option. The logo is June’s own handwriting, as she is the inspiration for this club.

• Who is the club for?

  Any woman in southeast Melbourne who wants a creative outlet, a way to make friends, or just a reason to put her phone down and make something with her hands. Whether you’re in your twenties, thirties or beyond, you’re absolutely welcome here.

• Can I come alone?

  Absolutely, and most people do! Everyone sits together at shared tables, so it’s easy to start chatting, and no one is left on their own. There will also be conversation cards to help with icebreaker conversations.

• What is included in the ticket?

  Each ticket includes everything you need to enjoy a relaxed and creative afternoon:

  • A range of art supplies: Including markers (regular and watercolour), acrylic paints, oil pastels, soft pastels, coloured pencils, and more.

  • A private space to enjoy: We've hired a beautiful private dining room, giving our group a comfortable and relaxed space to create, chat and unwind.

  • A little time for yourself: Step away from the everyday, slow down and enjoy doing something creative.

  • Connection and community: Meet new people, make new friends or simply enjoy some quality time with your favourite people.

• I’m not creative. Can I still come?

  Yes. You don’t need any experience or talent. This is about enjoying the process, not making something perfect. Beginners are very welcome <3

  Sessions can be whatever you want them to be! You are welcome to bring along a project you’re already working on, such as painting, knitting, embroidery, sketching or jewellery, or you can use any of the supplied art materials to kickstart a new project.

• Do I need to bring my own supplies?

  If you’d prefer to work on your own project, bring whatever you need for it and continue working on it amongst community. However, if you do not have a project already started you are welcome to use any of the supplied art materials to start something new.

• How long is a session?

  Sessions run for about two hours, so you have plenty of time to settle in, make something and chat. You are also welcome to order a coffee and something to eat!
