MAKERS MAKING MAKING MATTER
Maris van Vlack's vision arguably takes from, and subliminally it can be argued thatv she speaks for FOLKtraditions of another time when poverty was brought about by The Great Depression Depression furnishing.
That SOCIALtragedy was caused by a combination of the 1929 stock market crash, widespread bank failures, a severe collapse in international trade due to protective tariffs, agricultural overproduction, and restrictive monetary policies tied to the gold standard.
The collapse of the banking system drastically shrank the money supply, leaving businesses and individuals without access to the credit needed to survive or invest.People responded by, wherever they could, doing more with less.
Somewhat serendipitously van Vlack's installation here speaks of a time in the past and and another time that globally that humanity is in the midst of. With this in mind makers, knowingly and unknowingly, are increasingly making, matter. WATCH THIS SPACE!

FUEL YES OR NO!?
NOT THAT FIREWOOD IS INAPPROPRIATE
It is just the case that in Tasmania currently
this 'wood' is seen a fuel by default and that
is not always all that THISwood is GOODfor!!
THISwood could as indicated could be going to a
building site to become a component in a building,
a house or indeed a home. BUT it might well be a
resource for furniture making, the making of treen,
more still, think about it .......................

WHERE ARE YOU MOST LIKELY TO FIND SOME MAKERS FOR WHOM MAKING MATTERS!?
Some of Australia’s most effective community spaces do not look like clubs. They look like workshops filled with timber, tools and half-finished projects.
The Men’s Shed movement began in Australia, with the first recognised shed established in South Australia in 1993. Today, Australia has more than 1,000 Men’s Sheds. The national association supports over 1,200 Men’s, Women’s and Community Sheds combined, with more than 50,000 Australian men taking part.
Each shed operates independently, so activities vary. Members may repair furniture, practise woodwork, shape metal, restore equipment, garden, keep bees or build toys and benches for local groups.
Experienced members pass their knowledge to beginners, while everyone works at a comfortable pace. Tea, conversation and shared problem-solving are often as important as the finished object.
The sheds are non-commercial community organisations supported through memberships, volunteers, councils, donations and government grants. Australia provides $1 million annually through a national competitive grant programme for equipment, improvements and wellbeing activities.
The idea succeeds because conversation happens naturally while hands are busy. People arrive to make or mend something, but often leave with new skills, renewed purpose and familiar faces waiting for them next time.
