Workshops

Craft Cubed
5 – 24 August 2011


The Atrium, Federation Square


Event Dates: Friday 5 August – Wednesday 24 August
Venue: The Atrium, Federation Square


The Social Studio and Craft Victoria are proud to partner with Federation Square and the Victorian Small Business Festival for the Super Maker project Magical Tent, bringing art, commerce and people together.


Magical Tent showcases textiles and fashions created by designers from The Social Studio in Collingwood. The Social Studio is a creative enterprise that combines a design and manufacturing space, a retail shop and a vibrant cafe to create training and employment opportunities for refugee youth in fashion, retail and hospitality. It is a space for social connection and the hub for a vibrant community of local artists, crafters and makers.


The Social Studio will transform Federation Square's Atrium into a magical community space for craft-making. In the hand-dyed silk tent, The Social Studio will run a series of workshops hosted by Super Makers from Sudan, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, Samoa and Sri Lanka. The tent will be a hub of activity during the festival, leading up to a grand finale closing party which will also launch The Social Studio's Spring / Summer Collection as part of Melbourne Spring Fashion Week.
