Colour Box Studio

If you’re ready to kick the winter blues and say hello to craft season, you don’t have long to wait! There’s only one week until Craft Victoria’s annual Craft Cubed festival kicks off in Melbourne with exhibitions, installations, open studios, workshops and events happening all over the city. We love the sound of this terrarium, concrete pot and macrame hanger all-in-one mega workshop, hosted by Colour Box Studio with help from local artisans Ms Murphy Flowers and Kirri-MaDe on August 24. Tickets for this DIY session and other keynote events are selling fast, so remember to check out the full Craft Cubed program and find an event that tickles your fancy!
