A smaller room that will accommodate about six students, a wet room for those messy crafts with sealed, washable concrete floors, stainless steel tables on castors with bar height chairs, industrial sinks and air conditioning. A second smaller kitchen ensures groups don’t clash and have their own facilities.No cost has been spared by the City of Wanneroo in the upgrading of this house. Wooden floors have been sanded and sealed and a set of industrial fold-back doors open up the gallery and main craft area into one huge space. The Centre is wheelchair friendly.There was a buzz of excited artists there on the day I visited and they are all looking forward to the array of crafts on offer.
