☀️ Workshops: Sustainable Living at Home ☀️

Join the City of Ballarat Sustainable Environments team and discover practical tips, rebates and local resources to help you create a more sustainable home. The session will include a demonstration of a thermal camera, showing how heat is gained and lost in homes.

🌈 Pride month exhibition: Little Figures, Long Shadows 🌈

Little Figures, Long Shadows is an exhibition of 3D printed busts of historical LGBTIQA+ people with a connection to Ballarat. Some were born here, others were raised here, some worked here, and some found their final rest here.

This Ballarat Pride exhibition is on show at Ballarat Library, just outside the Maker Space, until Tuesday 30 June.

The Little Figures, Long Shadows exhibition busts were 3D printed in the Maker Space. We’re hosting hands on workshops where you can learn to make your own.

Participants do NOT need to complete a Maker Space Safety Induction to attend these workshops.
