Tinvironments - a visual reference of caring for our environment

We are true believers that we must cherish and preserve our planet. We were inspired and welcomed with open arms the work of Stephanie Winther and Fattie who have very cleaverly fused some of these cherished places with recycled drink cans and tops. For a consent source of how beautiful our world and how recycling even the most basic of items can be turned into pieces of art, we give three cheers to Tinvironments.

Meet Little Nikita

Meet Little Nikita as written by Kylie Robinson

My main items are scrabble pieces, I make rings, pendants, earrings and my major seller are the scrabble cufflinks!
I love making things that are a little bit quirky and living in Melbourne I certainly get lots of inspiration as everyone who lives here and has there own style! All one has to do is sit in a café in one of many laneways for inspiration!


It was great when I then came across in.cube8r, I placed a few items in my cube and 'wow' what a feeling it was to make my first sale.
Isy is great and I think she has certainly ensured that home crafters can make the next step. Not only that ,.. you don’t have to get up early to set up stalls on the weekend!

Faythe Levine visit's in.cube8r

Isy Galey, Esther Navarro-Orejon & Faythe Levine

A BIG thankyou to Faythe Levine who visited us last Sunday to talk about all things art, craft, FIY and the movie Handmade Nation. Our cuber's and visitors sipped champagne as Faythe took us on her journey leaving us inspired and committed to continue our support of all things handmade. If we say so ourselves Faythe loved the in.cube8r space and concept and even picked up a Nadia Turner brooch.

Thankyou to all of you who supported and visited the gallery . If you have any suggestions on future events and workshops we would love to hear about them. Email us here

Here are some more pics of Sunday's event.

Keep your eyes posted on the blog for more in.cube8r news, events and workshops.
