24.01.2022 SEEKING! Do you have an old set of timber venetian blinds that you’d like to gift us? They don’t need to be functioning... We use the timbers for levels for all our containers, and yes - it’s that time of year again when Sophie goes mad with her labelling systems! ... Please get in touch.

23.01.2022 TIMBER FOR DAYS! This week we completed DAY 1 of our two Construct Workshops, and have dismantled 14 pallets - providing us with over 400 lengths of timber, ready to build our furniture pieces. What an amazing group of humans - as always - caring for each other’s mental and physical health and working like a well oiled team! ... Thanks to all our volunteer mentors - Melanie, Carleigh, Caroline, Grescha and Gabriel - couldn’t do it without you! And of course, thanks to our students for all your enthusiasm, passion, inclusivity and excitement. It’s a dream to be working with y’all! #mentalhealth #construct #pallets #friendship #volunteer #honoured #heatwave #recycling #community #love

21.01.2022 SUCCESS! An exciting day for Deb at our Tools & Tinker Workshop, as she fitted her sink to her potting bench! And WHAT A FIT! The sink is straight from the tip shop and the timbers are pulled off non-toxic pallets... All recycled! ... Congrats Jaya on a rockin’ day - we LOVE having you at Shedding! #success #recycled #pottingbench #diy #palletfurniture #tgif #bar #tools #tinker

21.01.2022 EXCITING NEWS! Just had a visit from @dr_tray_trucking to check on access for the delivery of our FIRST SHIPPING CONTAINER on Monday! This is very exciting news, as it is the FIRST STEP towards the construction of our NEW OFF-GRID SHED! ... WATCH THIS SPACE! #excitement #offgrid #shedlife #community #workingtogether #onestepatatime

19.01.2022 And with the rain came the gardenias in full bloom, celebrating life. #growagarden #timeout #stormy #rejuvenate #celebratelife

18.01.2022 Welcoming the The Repair Cafe to Shedding!

14.01.2022 THANK YOU SO MUCH! Upon the eve of the final day of voting, I would like to personally thank all of you who have supported our $20,000 grant application with SCCU to build our RECYCLED OFF-GRID WORKSHOP! Our promo video (created by the talented @kat_vanrooyen ) has been watched by almost 3000 viewers and shared by over 100 passionate supporters of Shedding! ... I have been blown away by people who think - like me - that Shedding is the bees knees, and that positive mental health is a crucial aspect of life. All you Shedders have certainly changed my life in magical ways. So thank you, thank you, thank you. Can’t wait for the next chapter! If you would like to vote and haven’t yet, jump on www.sccu.com.au/community/community-grants and pick SHEDDING in Category 1. I also thought you would delight in knowing that this green tree frog is living in our garden and hangs out on my shoulder when I use the watering can.

11.01.2022 DOOR STOP CREATIVITY! Check out these beautiful door stops that @sarah_samiti made with her daughter Maya from some deliciously smelling western red cedar gifted to us from Woodwork for Women It doesn’t take long to learn a few skills to pass on to your kids! ... These two knocked off this project in no time at all - impressing everyone at our Friday Tools & Tinker Workshop! #westernredcedar #gifting #learning #handsonlearning #kids #excitement #success #community #woodwork #impressed

11.01.2022 MORE SUCCESSES! We’ve been so busy with our grants and voting that I forgot to share another round of CONSTRUCTers with y’all! So proud of this mob and their challenges and achievements during our 4-day workshop. ... It’s just ace to hear how tools become natural and familiar - tools that may have originally seemed a little scary and difficult to grasp. This is the key I believe... Getting comfy with the tools until it feels like you’re in the flow. And then you start to truly understand the process, the complexities of design and construction, and the immense SATISFACTION at the end of it all. How exciting it is so take a pallet, that might be falling apart, and transform it into something new and fresh and with purpose. Thanks to all our students - @josh_blau @henna_roses @grescha @jani_grace_yoga Mel Wong and Mel Manama And of course, HUGE THANKS to our Volunteer Mentors, @lucymbowen and @evolve_sphere - couldn’t have done it without you. #complete #satisfaction #joy #construct #recycling #tools #carpentry #friendship

10.01.2022 ARRIVAL! It is really happening! Our first reclaimed second-hand shipping container has arrived, full of character with all its dings and dents. HUGE THANKS to our first round of donors, who helped kick off our dream to build our RECYCLED OFF-GRID SHED! ... Couldn’t have done it without you. Also couldn’t have done it without our fabulous friend Duuvy, from @dr_tray_trucking #shippingcontainer #stepone #shedlife #recycled #reclaimed #thankyou #gratitude

10.01.2022 Those of you who know me well will know that I’m very passionate about recycling - so excited that I made a very special BIN TROLLEY for Shedding! So happy to combine two passions - designing stuff and making stuff! And it has been delicious meditative flowing fun! Some context... I wanted to create clear systems for recycling that are functional and easy to use and WELCOMING! ... Our bins are SMALL because we create very little waste at Shedding and we encourage you to do the same! If you’re thinking about buying takeaway or coffee in town, be kind to yourself and the world around you and remember to bring your own containers and cups. We even have some spares at Shedding that you can borrow. Can’t wait to show them off! #lovetheplanet #recycleinstyle #recycle #sustainability #supportnature #lovenature

09.01.2022 Hi gang! Just updating you on our latest news regarding our new shed construction, fundraising, Repair Cafe, current workshops and our future dreams.

09.01.2022 BEYOND SHEDDING... It’s been an absolute honour watching our Shedders gain the confidence to work with tools in their own space, outside of Shedding. We love that you stay in touch and share your ongoing journey with us. It’s been a delight watching this transformation and seeing our students to step into wider employment opportunities, working on the tools, creating their own pieces and selling them too! ... We have students who have felt the confidence and motivation to go out and buy their own tools and keep the creative dream alive. Our students have become teachers to others, stepping into a volunteer mentor role and sharing the lessons that they once learnt. This furniture piece belongs to @jackijackjacks - what a detailed and intricate artwork she has created on these pallet timbers. LOVE IT! #fibonnacci #art #sunflower #recycled #palletproject #love

08.01.2022 Life is good. Time for UpSkill. #dreamy #rightplacerighttime

08.01.2022 Whatever your medium of choice, it is really about a FEELING.

07.01.2022 You may not know this but we have been meeting with Tay from @riverandearthpermaculture to discuss a large scale permaculture plan for our new Shedding site. And he is SUCH A DREAM to work with... We had big ideas and Tay has invested so much time to create an inclusive design that captures so many sustainable concepts. A photo couldn’t capture it all, so here’s a wee video for y’all to enjoy! ... And HUGE thanks to Tay helping us dream the future together. #dreambig #sustainability #permculture #offgrid

07.01.2022 ANTICIPATION! With just 10 days until Southern Cross Credit Union announces the outcome of our GRANT APPLICATION, we are so excited to share another video with you. We love seeing the invigorated excitement and empowerment of our students in UpSkill... Learning about our values and our ideas around learning tools with a curiosity that removes the anxiety that some people experience learning tools. ... If you have attended our UpSkill workshop and think it’s the bees knees... We would love you to tell your friends about it and share our video. You are our best inspirers to others and we love having you with us - creating community.

06.01.2022 SLOW AND STEADY. When we work more slowly, there is the space to watch more closely, with a different level of awareness and focus. We here the tones of the tools we are using and recognise if they are struggling or straining and we have the time and patience to question why. ... I’m in love with this moment in the Construct Workshop - the final 2 cuts before the meditative process of sanding. It has been such a journey and this moment always feels like some kind of arrival - a celebration! Love your work @carleighburns - smooth moves! #arrival #smooth #slow #steady #awareness #focus #celebration #time #patience #woodwork #carpentryaustralia
