ThursdaysTalk and TextilesA group of like minded appreciators of the art of textiles meets fortnightly to share coffee, conversation and creativity. Sharing and learning of new skills is at the heart of this informal environment, with the benefit of some highly skilled creatives alongside those who are still learning. You may be a knitter, a wearable art creator, a patchworker, a rag rug maker, a dye master, a crochet lover or be new to your chosen interest area and could do with some extra tips. Bring your own project, maintain inspiration and motivation and generally keep in touch with others who are working in a similar medium. Coffee and tea available.

Thursdays fortnightly: 8 and 22 December 2016, 2 and 16 February, and 2, 16 and 30 March 2017

10 am - 12 noon. $4 payable on the day, casual.

A Potted History

The building at 558 Magill Road, Magill has housed the Pepper Street Arts Centre since 1995 and seen many community uses over its years:

1846 - The first Primary School in Magill opens.

1926 - Wattle Park Teachers College Art Department and Kent Town Special School.

1990-1995 - Burnside Council acquires the building for a combination of uses.

1995 - Pepper Street opens its doors, known then as ‘Pepper Street Gallery and Community Studio’ followed by ‘Pepper Street Arts Centre’ in 2001 when all corners of the building are given over to arts and cultural activity for the local community.
