FREMANTLE! EFWA’s home, Perthians favourite eclectic destination of an ever growing hub of culture, architecture and best of all, a place with incredible food and coffee.
Last year, we were lucky enough to have our venue next to D’Angelo Café in Freo. We were taken care of with their epic coffee during the EFWA 2017 event week.
Now, D’Angelo Café will be joining us to host our Mending Workshops during EFWA 2018 on November 15th until the 17th November.
Come and join our textile tutors to learn simple and basic hand sewing skills to rescue your favourite garment from land fill. Learn how to repair little holes and fix your dropped button with a few magical hand stitches.
The fee is a donation to the Reef Restoration Foundation, payable at the venue. You will be helping us to Mend the Reef one stitch at a time, by replanting coral by coral to regenerate the Great Barrier Reef.
Our Mending Workshops is set to raise funds to sponsor a coral tree at the Reef Restoration Foundation’s coral nursery at Fitzroy Island in Queensland for EFWA.
Find out more about their incredible work at www.reefrestorationfoundation.org and pop in to D’Angelo Café at Unit 7 /177 High Street in Fremantle to enjoy their velvety epic coffee and mouth watering menu.
