Earlier this year, contemporary jewellers/artists Katherine Bowman, Anna Davern, Caz Guiney, Ali Limb, and Romani Benjamin launched a unique shared studio space in the heart of Brunswick called NorthCity4, envisioned as a place to work, to learn, and to discuss, critique and debate. Drawn together as artists, teachers and business owners, these five hardworking creative women are community minded, sustainability focussed and driven by the desire to educate and be educated.

Much can be said about this space and the creative works that go on between its walls - you'd be well advised to check out their excellent blog to find out more!

So join us on Saturday 4 August to be inspired as Katherine, Anna, Caz, Ali and Romani discuss their individual career paths and creative work, and the events that led them to set up NorthCity4. This CWC event will be held at their studio space, in order to fully appreciate their exciting setup and learn more about its philosophy.

Seating is strictly limited, and as this event will be well publicised by Craft Victoria and the Victorian Small Business Festival, please book tickets early to avoid missing out.P.S. As with many artist's warehouses in Melbourne in Winter, it can be chilly - so rug up :)

Hope to see you there!
