Join us as we unveil the Contemplative Seat, forged at the Blacksmiths Festival in May 2025 by a community of makers. This extraordinary piece isn’t just a chair, it’s a space for reflection, created in honour of Sarah Carter, whose passion and presence continue to inspire.Born from fire, hammer and heart, the chair carries the marks of many hands, each adding their voice to a collective story. It invites us to pause, sit, and contemplate, a reminder of the beauty in collaboration and the strength in stillness.
Date: Sunday 30th November 2025
Location: 60 Maribyrnong Street, Footscray
Time: 12pm - 4pm
Celebrate the unveiling, hear the story behind its making, and join us in honouring Sarah’s enduring spirit.
What to Expect:
- A day of free games for the whole family

If you want to find out even more about the project, the festivities continue from 6pm - 9pm. Join us for a panel discussion with the blacksmiths who helped make this chair come to life over a snag and a drink! Panel discussion $10 p/p and bookings are required.
