Hello there!

My name is Kirsten. I live in Brisbane, Australia with my husband, daughter and Peanut, our sausage dog.

I created Crafternoons with Kirst to give people in my community a chance to create in a non-judgmental, fun space while connecting with their inner artist through play and collaborating with friends.

I have a background in Project Management and Communication and use these skills to host fun and engaging workshops but I also LOVE creating and want to pass this passion on.

“It’s always crafternoon time somewhere in the world” - Kirst.

What is a crafternoon?

It was so hard choosing a name for my business as the words ‘craft’ ‘art’ ‘painting’ etc all come with their own images in our head. Crafting for many, conjures up images of paddle pop sticks or scrapbooking paper.

Art is something we think only artists can make or it makes people stressed that what they create is not good enough. A lot of people also feel to paint, draw or sculpt you need to be an expert.

I want to change these views by making creating fun and something everyone feels safe to do. At Crafternoons with Kirst we offer workshops for a variety of people to explore different creative mediums.

It is my aim for everyone who attends my workshops to take away:

New skills you can take away and use again
A piece of work you are proud of
New connections
A smile : -)
