Another month, another batch of workshops centred around reducing food and fashion waste. We’re kicking off the month of May with another fun hands-on Basic Mending workshop in Brimbank, then we’re getting fizzy with it in our hands-on Fermenting workshop in Bayside. We’re back in Brimbank again, taking an in-depth look at catching & storing energy by Dehydrating Food, and our crowd-favourite Scraptastic Cooking presentation gets a double-outing this month – once in Maroondah and once in Bayside. It’s going to be a great month!
We’d love to see you at one (or more!) of these events, and be sure to subscribe at the bottom of this page if you want info on following months’ free events.
