Come along to ReCraft Collective today, Thursday 12 November, 2–4pm, as we explore reclaimed fabrics, ribbons, trims and other materials for our 16 Days in WA community artwork.

Together, we're gathering creative pieces that will help share an important message of safety, respect and belonging, while raising awareness of violence against women.

No experience needed — just bring your curiosity and a little creativity!

Join us at 2pm, have a rummage and help turn forgotten materials into something meaningful for our community.

Free to participate. Everyone is welcome!

It’s the little things that make the biggest difference! 💕

Arrived at work this morning to find this colourful little surprise outside my office door.

I couldn’t help but stop, smile and feel a little bit special. Someone had taken the time to do something so simple, yet so thoughtful, and it genuinely made my morning!

It’s moments like these that remind me why I love what we do. It’s not just about craft, creating or making things. It’s about the people, the friendships, the kindness and those little connections that mean so much.

FOLLOW THE PURPLE ROAD — EVERYONE DESERVES TO FEEL SAFE AND VALUED!

This Seniors Week, we invite you to visit The Empty Bobbin and see Albany's Purple Road community artwork on display.

The Purple Road is more than a colourful creation. It represents a community standing together to raise awareness of elder abuse and promote dignity, respect, safety and connection for older people.

Every older person deserves to feel heard, supported and valued, and the Purple Road is a wonderful reminder of the importance of looking out for one another.

At ReCraft Collective, we believe creativity brings people together and helps start conversations that matter.

Pop into The Empty Bobbin during Seniors Week, take a look at the Purple Road and help share its important message.

FROM FORGOTTEN MATERIALS TO MEANINGFUL MESSAGES

What can a piece of fabric, an old ribbon or a handful of reclaimed treasures become?

At ReCraft Collective, we believe materials deserve another opportunity to make a difference.

Join us on Tuesday 10 or Thursday 12 November, 2–4pm, as we explore our warehouse and discover materials for our 16 Days in WA community artwork.

We'll be selecting fabrics, trims and other interesting pieces to help express messages of safety, respect and belonging.

No experience needed, and you don't have to attend both sessions.

Come for a fossick, discover the possibilities and help us turn reclaimed materials into something meaningful.

Free to participate. Book your preferred session through ReCraft Collective.
