Winter is coming.

If you’re anything like me, your veggie patch is a mixture of hope, dreams and death-by-caterpillar. Come along to our second workshop of 2015 and learn tips for vege success: what to plant now in Perth (in particular Guildford) soil.

The workshop will be run by Bassendean Kitchen Gardener Laura Simes, who will be sharing her tips on growing seasonal vegegables in a Perth climate. We’ll cover seedlings, varieties and garden layout.

Our first workshop for 2015

It’s jam season again!

After last year’s successful ‘Sticky Fingers’ jam and pickle workshop, we decided to kick off our workshop series in 2015 with another opportunity to learn tips and best recipes for fruit preserves.

The workshop will be run by local Guildford jam maker Bev Roseveare, who will be sharing her recipes and giving a hands-on workshop on jam and pickle making. We’ll cover choosing fruit, preparation, cooking and jarring the jam and pickle.

While the jam is cooking, we’ll enjoy afternoon tea.

Kids are welcome – we’ll have some relevant children’s activities happening in conjunction with the workshop if your little one/s are too small to join in with the adults.

Please bring:

An apron
A jar (or three)
Something from your garden/kitchen for the sharing table (eg. fruit, herbs, eggs etc)
Something to share for afternoon tea if you would like to.

Event details:

RSVP: We want everyone to be able to get their hands sticky. Please RSVP via Eventbrite so we can keep an eye on the numbers.

Date: Saturday 17th January

Venue: Sian’s place, address on RSVP.

Time: Join us from 1pm until the jam cooks about 4pm.

Crafty Devils Christmas Special

Posted on December 6, 2013 by rubyslypprz | 3 comments

Are you feeling festive? Or do you need some inspiration to get into the holiday spirit? Then wander down to the Crafty Devils Christmas Special on Saturday, December 7 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Guildford Mechanics Hall to join in the fun.

Even if the mainstream “silly season” traditions aren’t your style, there is certainly opportunity to learn new ways of promoting low-impact gift giving (for any time of year), unique “upcycled” craft or present ideas, and just a lovely chance to meet and chat with some other local creative people.

Men and women of all ages and creative disciplines are welcome, but please leave the babies/kids/pets at home. (bring your friends & neighbours too!) There will be a festive holiday tea, and if anyone would like to contribute their own trademark treat that would also be lovely.

Ho-ho-hope to see you there!
