February Meeting: Marbling & Social BBQ

Marbling paper workshop along with a social barbecue and showcase of items available to buy, sway and sell.

📅 Tuesday 24th February 2026
⏰ 6pm to 9pm
📍Rear Hall, St. Faith's Church, 8 Charles St., Glen Iris


**UPDATE**

The weather forecast for Tuesday evening isn’t looking great. However, if we are able to proceed with the marbling sessions outdoors, we will go ahead as planned.

In the unfortunate event that we can’t work outside, we have prepared a revised program featuring marbling techniques presented through videos, along with opportunities to ask questions about the process. We also encourage you to bring along items you’ve been working on, pieces that require repair, or anything you created over the summer for an informal Book Clinic session—an opportunity to show, share, and ask questions about your work.

We will still enjoy our social barbecue and time to catch up with fellow binders. All welcome. 

Kind regards,
The VBG Committee
