Polka Dot Rabbit was launched in 2007 by Cate Lawrence. Cate strive to reclaim materials and once loved objects and recraft them into goodies which can be loved all over again...
Favoured materials are sourced from various second hand suppliers, charity shops, discarded clothing and textiles, childrens toys and books and various household objects including tea cups and cake decorating fancies. You may have seen Polka Dot Rabbit products and creations featured in various publications including Frankie magazine, The Vine and Michi Girl.
Cate is passionate about mental health and social justice. She was the successful recipient of a Community Support grant by the City of Melbourne to run crafting workshops this year called 'Craftea Chat' in conjunction with VMIAC in 2008 for women experiencing mental health issues. She hopes to set up a 'not for profit' Cratea Chat to extend the workshops, support and social resources into something ongoing and sustainable. Cate also established Paddy Wagon in 2008, a pad making mission in the melbourne craft community, to create cloth sanitary pads for women in Africa. When not crating, Cate founded Green Renters, a not for profit organisation providing sustainability education and workshops for people living in rental accommodation.
In 2008 Cate's work appeared in the group Fringe Festival exhibition Totem at Federation Square and in 2010 Cate contributed a hand embroidered and fabric mosaic as part of the Red Quilt Project which toured parts of Australia. Cate also lent her embroidery to the Frankie magazine quilt. In 2010 Cate curated the exhibition Home is Where the Craft is as part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival, an exhibition of 13 women's creative expressions which was held in her home.
