Ladies, Wine & Design
Melbourne

**POSTPONED** (New dates to be announced soon) Join us for a night of art direction, photography, great people, wonderful wine and some non wine too.

We are collaborating with photographer and creative Jana Langhorst for a night at her studio Semi Vacant in Footscray. Email us for details and RSVP.
Opening Soon

Our topic for the night is simply 'The Creative Industry': the good, the bad and the ugly. What are we doing to change the shit that doesn't work? How are we making it better for the ones who're just stepping into it? In these times of *uncertainty*, what does the future hold for creative roles? Keen to chat it out over some great wine and munchies.

Do you have one? Do you enjoy it more than your full-time job? What keeps you motivated? How do you make time for it? What does it take to 'make it work'? What's keeping you from making it your full-time job?
Closed

Yeah we should!

Chit Chat.
Means whatever you want it to be.

The year is almost over (WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK) and we at LWD Melbs want to say 'Bye bitch' to 2018 with a night of casual, unscripted, cosy drinks in the company of the loveliest chicks we know, aka YOU at the wonderful Madame Brussels. Chit chat(tities) chats. Open to all.

We've all dealt with them, maybe we've been even been them and can talk about that too, whatever it is, it is good to get insight into someone else's journey — we all might just pick up a thing or two.

We're teaming up with the badass ladies from Stasia Raft's cool AF Raft Studio in Collingwood for a FRIDAY (wooo!) night filled with lots of vino and real conversation amongst some of the industry's most badass boss ladies. Spaces are limited, so please contact us for more info on spots.

We hear, read, and watch a fuck-load of "Women can do ANYTHING, EVERYTHING, THE IMPOSSIBLE yada yada yada" and that's amazing yeah, but we also fuck up every-now-and-then (every day if you're like us) and that's also OK. If that voice inside your head is getting a bit too loud, come have a few wines and some great food and get that pressure off your goddamn beautiful shoulders while we talk about why being vulnerable and fucking up is NECESSARY, and why we need to learn to embrace failure.

It's Open Mic Night ladies! No topic specifically or maybe them all, just keeping warm in this shitty fucking winter weather chills with some good comfort food and super delicious wine.
Closed

What are you being called? what do you want to be called? Why aren't you being called what you want to be called? Do you even give a fuck about the label? What weight does a label hold? Do Creative Labels work in our advantage, or are they limiting?

Maria Montes is a Melbourne-based typography, calligraphy and lettering extraordinaire. She's also a badass, cool chick who'll be hosting 8 creative ladies at her workspace (Rotson Studios - Fitzroy) for a two-hour flash workshop on all things letters! We'll supply the wine and treats, and Maria will provide materials, so all you need to do... is come and have a fucking sweet time. Easy.

How do you take it? Turn it in to better work?
