Crafty Creations Group

**Your monthly dose of creativity & community.** Welcome to the Beverly Hills Craft-ernoon! Got a knitting project you can’t seem to finish? Eager to meet other creative people in your corner of Sydney? Or just looking for a welcoming space to relax and make something with your hands? Our community Craft-ernoon is for you. Think of it as a creative hub for everyone—from kids discovering the joy of glitter glue to seniors sharing a lifetime of skills. It’s a relaxed, unstructured afternoon to connect with neighbours of all ages. **What to bring:** * **Your current project:** Whether it’s crochet, sketching, or scrapbooking, bring it along! * **Just yourself!** If you don’t have a project, don't worry. We’d love your help knitting or sewing a "Trauma Teddy" to comfort someone in need. All materials are provided. * **The kids!** We’ll have a station with simpler crafts ready for little hands. **All the nitty-gritty:** * **When:** 2pm on the first Saturday of every month * **Where:** Beverly Hills Baptist Church, 9 Warrawee Place, Beverly Hills (sadly, the one near Hurstville, not LA!). We're in the main hall at the back of the building. * **Cost:** Free! Seriously. We’re happy to provide the space and materials. * **Parking:** Warrawee Place can be tight, so try Tooronga Terrace or Ponyara Road for more spots. **A note from our hosts** Beverly Hills Baptist Church is delighted to host this community gathering. Our goal is simple: to provide a warm, welcoming space for people to connect and create. There are no strings attached, no religious program—just good company and craft. Everyone is welcome, exactly as you are. **Questions or ideas?

Midweek Meetup: White Rabbit Gallery

Contemporary Chinese art gallery White Rabbit has a lovely little teahouse on its ground floor. Come meet for dumplings and a cuppa before/after a visit to the (free) exhibition. **EXHIBITION:** **BLACK MYTH** As ancient as human civilisation itself, the power of myth is embedded within our cultural DNA. Passed down through millennia in traditions and tales, myths have inspired artists, writers, and thinkers from all walks of life. Yet in today’s technology-driven age of uncertainty, what role can myth still play? Drawing from the viral Chinese video game Black Myth: Wukong (2024)—a contemporary retelling of the classic novel Journey to the West—the exhibition Black Myth explores the dark side of myth in our modern world. [More info](https://whiterabbitcollection.org/exhibition/black-myth/) **Cost**: Buy your own tea/food ([see menu and prices](https://whiterabbitcollection.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Folded-Menu-2025.pdf))
