Made @ The Place - Enrolments Open!

Upcycled Fabric Textiles with Natalie Anderson

Don’t miss the next round of our FREE Made @The Place youth creative arts program!

Join us for a fun and inspiring 4-week workshop focusing on creating fantastical landscapes that convey a story and take us on a journey to your imagination.


This program is for young people 12+ and will run from the 8th of May – 29th of May, hosted at The Place every Wednesday from 4 – 6pm.


Guided by artist Natalie Anderson, we will explore themes of fantasy, wonder, and adventure while incorporating the principles of reuse, reduce, and recycle. 


Over the course of four weeks, participants will have the opportunity to craft their own wonderlands using upcycled fabric, sewing, and various textiles such as buttons, ribbons, jeans, and wool. 


Drawing inspiration from Japanese landscapes, storybook illustrations, and contemporary textile artists, students will learn how to add depth and movement to their artistic compositions and develop techniques for creating and distinguishing textures.  Join us on this creative journey to unleash your imagination and bring your dreams to life! 


Spaces are limited so book today! Complete the registration form here or alternatively call us on (02) 4032 5500 or email youthprograms@theplacecharlestown.org.au

This Neighbourhood Centre Week, we pay homage to the remarkable strength that emerges when diverse individuals come together for a shared purpose. Helen Keller's timeless words, "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much," resonate deeply as we reflect on the power of unity and community. In communities across Australia, Neighbourhood and Community Houses and Centres (NCHCs) stand as the beating heart of local neighbourhoods. At these centres like ours, we strive to embody the essence of togetherness, bringing people from all walks of life together to connect, learn, and play. Through collaborative initiatives, inclusive programs, and shared spaces, we cultivate an environment where every voice is heard, every story is valued, and every member contributes to the vibrant mosaic of our shared community. To celebrate the value of our local community, join us for a warm cuppa and lively conversations at The Place on 14th May, from 10 am – 12 pm. Whether you're a longtime resident or new to the area, there's a place for you here! Discover the variety of programs and activities at The Place tailored to enrich every aspect of your life, from health and wellness initiatives to educational workshops and social gatherings. Come and experience The Place where people meet, connect, belong, and grow. Neighbourhood Centre Week is a time to celebrate the bonds that unite us and the spaces that nurture them. So, come on over, grab a cuppa, and let's build a stronger, more connected community together! Free light morning tea will be provided. To book your spot, please call us on 02 4032 5500, or email us at programsassistant@theplacecharlestown.org.au
