The Trashy Artisan has been a little like the duck; looking calm and serene drifting over the pond, but those little legs have been going furiously. So here is a quick list of what we are up to to date. (No Frills)

• T- shirt yarn and VHS Creativity workshops in Peregian, starting to book workshops in Pomona, Noosa, Cooroy and Nambour
• Applying for a tender for a tip shop on the Sunshine Coast
• Making connections and spreading the word at U3A, Noosa Parks Association, World Environment Day, Noosa Festival of Water, The Circular Experiment and Peregian Springs State school.
• Developing our Memorandum of Understanding to work with our ever increasing network of creatives including Troy the Bike Guy, Redeeming Features (Tech jewellery) and Primal School. We have a glassblower, wood worker, kombucha leather maker and we are tracking down a welder to start doing workshops. (once we find a space)
• We have an amazing agreement with the fabulous Todd to share some incredible woodworking equipment – we just need to find a space.
• We now have over 160 followers on Facebook  and around 100 on our email list so now is the time to start getting together and sharing ideas and having maker workshops. (I’ll keep you posted!)
• We have collected a lot of shop fittings to display our discards – care of Noosa Civic – when we have a space

So as you can see there is a recurring theme – finding a space.  Let me know if you hear of anything (keeping in mind we have no capital!!)
