New Tasmania Brown Owl Group

Dearest Brown Owls I am calling out to YOU yes you ,

I am extremely interested in making a Brown Owl group on the north west coast of Tasmania, I am located in Latrobe and am just putting out feelers to see if there are many people interested in attending a group in this area before I start to organise anything.
If you are interested and not close to area that the meeting might be, being held in  that need not matter we can have a changing roster so that it meets everyones needs who is interested.
I personally think that this is a tremendous opportunity to get a new group started and spread those hidden talents and learn some new ones !

Hope to here from all you owlets

Brown Owls Launceston - Queensland Flood Relief

Hi Owls and Happy New Year!
Hope your silly season was great fun in the sun, while the sun lasted. Looking forward to Brown Owls meeting 1, 2011 which will be held on Tuesday February 1st at 7pm at the Design Centre in Tamar Street. The theme for the night will be making things to sell to raise money for the Premier's Flood Relief (http://www.qld.gov.au/floods/). As we are all aware, it is not such a cracking start to 2011 for our friends in Queensland. Brown Owls Launceston has been offered a stall at a market planned to run at Festivale, so we considered this a great opportunity to make and show off some cool handmade stuff and raise some funds for those Queenslanders in dire need. It would be wonderful if you could all be involved. If you can't make the meeting but would like to donate to the stall please let me know.

RSVP below if you would like to join us at the meeting.

Look forward to seeing you on the 1st!

Georgia and Gemma

Little Brown Owls


Yesterday the Nords Wharf Chapter of the Brown Owls held a kids art & craft morning at the Nords Wharf Hall.  What a great time all 20 kids had - including their parents.  Lots of sparkles, dragons eggs & boxes, paper flowers, painted matchboxes, butterflies and lino printing. Great mess and a great day.  Let's encourage creativity!


Our next Brown Owls meeting will be on Tuesday the 25th January 2011, 7-9pm at the Nords Wharf Community Hall.

St George and Sutherland Brown Owls 2011

Here we are crafting it up in the gardens of the Hazelhurst Gallery before the insects and heat drove us to Lara's house!




It was great to see everyone before Christmas and discuss (and do) craftiness! The present exchange was fun and I got an amazing gift...check it out HERE.


This week Alyce and I sorted out our dates for the first half of 2011...so mark these down in your diaries before you life gets filled up with boring non-craft related events!

Thanks to everyone who came to meetings in 2010...I have really enjoyed it and hope to see you all again...if you are a newby feel free to come along to any meetings, we always love new people and you can bring a friend if you are scared!
