Past Workshops
We love looking back through the seasons at our past workshops and the many ways they have brought people together. Each one has left a lasting impression, where people have made new friendships, and felt a deeper sense of community. Explore some of the highlights that have shaped our journey so far.

AUGUST 2024
This Saturday 3rd August 10am-1pm, we will be holding an extra special workshop where we will be learning the cultural significance of weaving in the Papua New Guinea community & hand-craft a basket from Pandanus & raffia. This session will be guided by Ranu James, a cultural arts practitioner who is originally from Gaba Gaba, Papua New Guinea.
Ranu extends her practice across, music, dance, bilas crafting, storytelling and finding unique ways to continue practicing culture while living in Australia, away from home. Ranu also offers community bilas and bilum ‘weaving and making’ workshops where the spirit of her practice creates space for people to share culture, heal and bond communities – which she often puts down to the power that the act of weaving holds.
All materials and morning tea will be provided by EBCC.

We’re trying to make the most of this cold weather here at EBCC by offering our community members some winter-special workshops! Next Saturday 13th July, we will be holding the first session of our 2-part series workshop ‘Learn How to Knit a Scarf’ with Anna Walters!
