Brisbane Brown Owls: Dates for 2013

 

About Brisbane Brown Owls

Brisbane Brown Owls meet once or twice a month in various locations throughout Brisbane. At each meet up we either learn a new craft or you can bring along your own craft to do. It's all about sharing crafty knowledge and skills, meeting crafty people and having a cuppa. 

How much is it?
Brisbane Brown Owls is usually free unless there is a special crafting project where a fee will be charged to cover materials costs.

How do I join?
Joining Brisbane Brown Owls is easy, just sign up for the email list here http://eepurl.com/tTVZv. You can also check out our Facebook page www.facebook.com/brisbanebrownowls.

Meeting dates for 2013
