Before things get really busy with event planning we have two chair making workshops next month. Come spend a week with Lost Trades founders Glen Rundell and Lisa Rundell in their country workshop in the Macedon Ranges.
A week of learning, crafting, making and slowing down - and you get to take home a handcrafted heirloom - just in time for Christmas. There are two spots available - see Glen's website for details or send him a message at [email protected]
These two classes are the last ones for the next 6 months.
Yes there will be cake, coffee and great conversation. Glens website: rundellandrundell.com.au

The importance of the "Lost Trades" movement cannot be underestimated. It celebrates creativity and craftsmanship. It encourages collaboration, community and connection.
Sharing skills and knowledge. Showing people what's possible.
Inspiring many to lead a life less ordinary.
Done for another year, already planning 2027.
