Kiama Creative Crafts
This group meets every Monday morning during school terms from 9.00 am to 12.00 pm. The Craft group meets in the Fellowship Centre under the guidance of Daphne [02] 4232 1723. They have an annual presentation of their crafts and artwork in November. A wide variety of crafts are taught and worked – from knitting, crocheting, embroidery, tapestry, quilting, card making, candlewicking, applique, and others. The artists meet in the Lecture Hall under the guidance of Max Smith [02] 4237 6334.
Kiama Men’s Shed
The Kiama Men’s Shed is located in Uniting House [the old manse] in the church grounds. There are currently about 60 members and the Shed is open on Tuesday and Thursdays from 9.00 until 3.00. Men must become members before being allowed to use the tools and there is a safety orientation as well. Men’s Shed Polo Shirts are also available.
The men work on a variety of their own projects but also complete some tasks collectively [for example, the Mayor’s Christmas Toy Appeal].
