SOAK: FATHER'S DAY CRAFTING SESSION - 20.06.26
Because 10 million people in Joburg spend their weekends scrolling at home. Because Father's Day gifts shouldn't come from garage forecourts. Because we've forgotten how to make things with our hands whilst talking to humans outside our usual circles.
Soak creates third space — the kind where strangers actually engage outside their echo chambers. Where opinions get gently challenged through shared activity. Where you discover you're capable of making something meaningful instead of just buying it.
Monthly gatherings. Different themes. Same purpose: bringing valuable content back outside our homes and into communities of practice and social connection.
This edition: Father's Day. Make something that actually means something.
Saturday 20 June, the day before Father's Day. Guided crafting session with Lal and Brigid. Background music from Jordan. Winter sun at Ingos Coffee Bar. Coffee included. All materials provided. Perfect for adults and kids alike — families welcome to craft together.
What's included: guided Father's Day crafting session with all materials provided, coffee for adults, background music, winter sun and good company. No rigid workshop structure. No forced networking. Just space to make something whilst having actual conversations.

Soak is House of Shem's new monthly series of dry events designed to reconnect people to making, learning, and genuine conversation. Each session focuses on a different theme or occasion, always maintaining the same approach: casual drop-in format, expert guidance, inclusive atmosphere, and space for people of all ages to engage outside their usual echo chambers.
This isn't entertainment. This is creating space where Saturday becomes something other than scrolling at home.
Outdoor venue with accessible seating. If you have specific accessibility needs, contact us at fis@houseofshem.org before the event.
