Beyond the regular classes, the SquarePeg Studios community has been buzzing with activity.
Brooch Club
The first run of Brooch Club, our new social group, has already had a couple of great meet-ups. Just over a fortnight ago, we welcomed author Daniela Malev from Germany for an online lecture on the history of brooches with close to 100 people joining in! It was such an inspiring session.
This Brooch Club series is feeding into a group exhibition, Material Matters, for Sydney Craft Week. The exhibition opens on 10 October at Windowsmiths Gallery, with a closing night Pin Swap celebration on 18 October. Both events are up on Eventbrite, pop the dates in your diary!
