Crafts centre holds planning meeting

The Ettalong Beach Arts and Crafts Centre will hold a planning meeting on Monday, January 11, at 1pm.

Discussions will include what resources and equipment may be needed for the centre, repairs and maintenance, the need for extra space for messy classes such as mosaics and silvercraft, forward planning for 2016 and future expansion.

Those who are unable to attend but would like to make a suggestion or have an idea they would like to share can send it to Penny at pjh.ot57@gmail.com.

The centre's classes are running at full capacity and it now has a waiting list the each tutor will keep up to date so organisers will be alerted when spots become available.

The centre is also considering making gift vouchers available that can be used by members of the community as Christmas gifts that can be used for classes, workshops or membership.

The pottery room is undergoing a transformation during the summer break including the installation of new sinks that have been donated for the kitchen area of the potter's shed.

The centre is also hoping to install new sinks and a clay trap at the front end near the glazing table.

Council approval was required and funds to enable the renovation were provided with a council grant.
