Sunshine Butterflies famous woodworking program ‘Chippies Corner’ have just created some iconic Queensland furniture, squatters’ chairs.
This incredible bunch of woodworkers have spent the last few months constructing these magnificent chairs with the help of the dedicated program coordinators and staff at Sunshine Butterflies.
Sunshine Butterflies ‘Chippies Corner’ provides opportunities for people living with disability to design, create and construct wood products. Members of this program are guided step-by-step through each project to help them learn new skills and techniques.
“So far, we have made and restored items such as wooden chopping boards, wooden belly boards, trays, garden and homewares, art and ornaments, possum and bird boxes and recycled pallet furniture. These squatters’ chairs are just another amazing project our Chippies have created,“ Chippies Corner Program Coordinator Jim said.
‘Chippies Corner’ were very excited when Peter and Maree, the team behind Canvas and Marine Covers Noosa volunteered to donate quality canvas to their program to use as part of their incredible handcrafted squatters’ chairs.
Peter and Maree visited the home of Sunshine Butterflies ‘Our Backyard’ last week for the big debut of the Chippies program Squatters’ chairs.
Members and staff enjoyed a delicious Morning Tea on the lush green lawns of the charity and the team from Canvas and Marine Covers Noosa had a great time testing out the new outdoor furniture with Sunshine Butterflies members.
“We are so grateful to Maree and Peter for donating to Sunshine Butterflies. Canvas and Marine Covers Noosa are such an awesome local business, and we love supporting them,“ Sunshine Butterflies Team Leader Lisa Brooder said.
’Chippies Corner’ were very excited to welcome Peter and Maree out to ’Our Backyard’ to show off all their hard work.
