Craft with the Fam
22 June 2025 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
http://discord.word-family.comIt's time to get crafty! Bring your art or craft project of choice, and make some progress with company.
How it Works
This event is entirely online, so you don't need to move your project or equipment anywhere. You can do any kind of art or craft you like! (You can even write if you'd like.)
We'll start off with a bit of a chat about what we're all working on and our craft of choice. It would be great if you could share a photo of your project with us! Then we'll have some focus time to get some work done.
If you want to join the voice channel, feel free to share a video stream of your crafty progress! Look out for people who have their mics and headphones muted, as they can't hear any chatter, but they might be sharing a view of their work with us or viewing others' streams. In Discord, you can view multiple streams at once.
At the end of the event, it would be lovely to have another photo of your project, so we can have before-and-after views!
*Pictures and videos are entirely voluntary; please only share what you're comfortable with.

Words With the Fam (Ipswich Edition)
28 June 2025 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
9 Blackstone Rd, Eastern Heights QLD 4305, AustraliaHi Ipswich Word Fam! Due to skyrocketing prices and feeling much less supported as valued cafe patrons since new management took over, we are relocating! We will now be meeting at Wild Rose Cottage in Eastern Heights. It's a lovely small business with good coffee, pretty treats, and light meals.
Join the Ipswich branch of the Word Family for Breakfast, conversation about what we're writing, and OF COURSE, writing time!

The Coffee Club Café - Park Road, Shop 9 - 11/32 Park Rd, Milton QLD 4064, AustraliaOur monthly central catch-up!
For in-person meetup, come along to the Coffee Club at Milton (CCM). There's free parking available in the area and it's just up the road from the Milton train station.

We'll have plenty of room for everyone, power available if you need to plug in, and lots of chance to chat and focus on writing! Bring headphones if you wish, to aid focus or simply get some quiet time. Whatever works for you is fine with us.
We'll be running some writing sprints through the day.
If you can't make it in person, join in online on our Discord server!
