A workshop, a cup of tea and somebody to talk to.
Hillview is a community workshop in Hillview, open six sessions a week. Members make things for themselves and for the community: planter boxes for the kindergarten, bird boxes for the school, chopping boards for the market. Some of us are tradesmen; most of us are not. Come and have a look on any day we are open, and stay for morning tea.
