THIS WORKSHOP WILL EARN YOU 10 NAATI REVALIDATION POINTS IN CATEGORY 1.4 AS IT IS RELATED TO MINDFULNESS AND INTERPRETER SELF CARE.πŸ’Ÿ

AIMS is excited to host Auslan Interpreter Clair Shreeve as she leads a small group of interpreters in a hands-on Upcycling Workshop in Scarborough, WA on July 19, 1:30pm - 4:30pm at Motion Clinic.

This workshop is designed to support our mental and emotional well-being by getting us to slow down, practice mindfulness and keep providing high quality access for the Deaf community.

🧡 Create a unique reversible bag β€” pot-luck style!

This mindful, creative experience focuses on slow stitching by hand rather than machine sewing, encouraging relaxation and intentional making.

πŸ•’ Half-Day Workshop (3 hours)

Each participant will receive a paper bag kit from Clair, containing:

A reusable pattern with instructions (to remake or finish at home)

Pre-cut outer fabric matched to the bag pattern

Pre-cut lining fabric

Bag strapping

🌿 All materials are upcycled β€” sourced from op-shops, donations, and saved-from-landfill upholstery fabrics.

Clair will also bring shared supplies for the group to use, including:

A sewing machine (to attach strapping)

Cotton and embroidery threads (for optional embellishments)

Needles, pins, scissors, iron, and ironing mat

You'll walk away not only with a beautiful, functional bag β€” but also with the skills and inspiration to continue this mindful practice at home.

✨ Clair’s motto: Waste Nothing.
