Van About Town

 • 

Our clever friends at BrisStyle are ready to show off their talents in a whole new way. The team’s brand new Craft Caravan project takes to the streets this weekend June 1st – 3rd with fun, crafty activities popping up right across the city. The festivities kick off this Friday from 10am with a day of ‘make and take’ workshops, indie designer markets and colourful yarn bombing in King George Square. The ‘movable oasis of crafty goodness’ will then venture on to Zillmere for Saturday and Hamilton on Sunday – where Kris from The Best Little Vintage Van in Vegas will treating visitors to her pop up van of retro goodness. Throughout the weekend there’ll also be plenty of opportunities for local crafters and dabblers to ask questions and seek advice from the BrisStyle team – including all the makers who’ll be happily demonstrating their different arts. Check in here for full details. See you there!
