Book tickets HERE or read on for full details!
For the first time ever, My Crafternoons is hitting Port Fairy to take over iconic pizza bar Coffin Sally for a Winter Weekends Bead Bar!
Instead of something mass-produced, you’ll leave with something unique that tells a story of a winter’s afternoon crafting upcycled jewellery in a 19th century former undertaker’s by the sea.
Hospo legend, Pete is lighting the fire and welcoming our happy crafters in as part of a special collab for the Winter Weekends Festival. We’ll be spread through this beloved pizza and wine bar full of cosy corners, character-filled nooks and shelves of spirits and quirky ephemera. We are excited!
Bead Bar Crafternoon:
💫 Design and make your own bespoke beaded necklace or bracelets guided by your experienced host, artist and maker, Stacey
📿 Rummage through a generous bead bar of new and pre-loved goodies, from delicate seed beads and pearls to glass, wooden, paper, plastic and natural beads plus weird and wonderful statement pieces
🛠️ Learn how to use jewellery tools and findings to thread and secure your unique creation
🍷 Enjoy your first drink on us! Think mulled wine, mulled cider, craft beer, bubbles or a local vino, or choose from a range of non-alcoholic options
🍕 Turn it into a long lunch if you like, the pizza oven will be fired up if you wish to order fresh Italian-style wood-fired deliciousness
♻️ Bring along any old beaded jewellery you’d like to upcycle – this is a great sustainable way to give unloved necklaces a new lease on life
🎉 Enjoy cosy crafty day party vibes – we literally have the whole place to ourselves, so let’s crank the tunes, craft and mingle!
No experience needed – you’ll be guided step by step so you can walk out wearing a piece of jewellery you designed yourself, feeling quietly chuffed every time someone asks where you got it.
No dishes, no deadlines, no decisions harder than which beads to pick next. This is your chance to slow down, sip something delicious and let your hands (not your head) do the work for a couple of hours.
Sounds great - book me in!
🎟️ Tickets are $75 including all tools, materials & tuition for 2–2.5 hours of bead-craft plus your first drink. .
💕 First 10 save $10 - early bird tickets are $65 for the lucky ducks who jump onto it first, or bring the crew - save $20 off bookings for four!
