Yesterday our fabulous team of volunteers did a big clean up!
Maintaining in circulation objects requires lots of behind the scene work. Cleaning, repairing, tidying and many other tasks are all essential to keep our inventory ready for all of you to borrow.

If you’re keen to volunteer and join these legends, email us. We always seek new team members for different tasks. From marketing to tools maintenance, everyone could help in different ways. Email: [email protected]

Design Your Own Apparel: Intro to Screen Printing Workshop

Screen printing allows you to create unique, custom designs on all sorts of materials—clothing, posters, tote bags, and more. It’s a hands-on way to express your creativity, whether you're designing for yourself, your community group, or as an artist.

Join us for a hands-on fabric screen printing workshop at the Brisbane Tool Library in Northshore, where you’ll learn the basics in a relaxed 2–2.5 hour session.

We’ll kick things off by explaining how to build your own screen printing frame using basic carpentry tools from our inventory. Then, working in pairs using pre-made Tool Library stencils, you'll create two fabric prints: one to keep and one for us!
