Our Crew

Introducing Amber Ives - the bagpipes master. Other than yummy hop coffee she's a fan of "piping everywhere" @hawthornpipeband, being an over-grown child, cross fit 💪 @ballarat_goldfields_crossfit and spending time with the fam 🩷 If you want to be more like Amber order an almond flat white (points if you have the same reaction after the coffee) ☕️

Introducing Sarah Barlow - the slashie. Sarah does many creative things - she can’t sit still. 🎵 🎶 Sarah keeps herself busy creating theatre and gigging with a bunch of instruments around Australia and loves all kinds of art. 🎷🎹 Outside of all things performing arts she loves the surf and reading 🏄‍♀️ 📖 If you can’t tell her coffee of choice is a cappuccino ☕️

Introducing Chris Robson - the evil mastermind. Chris is a musician, teacher and lover of coffee, wine and food. 👨‍🏫 🍷 He plays violin and viola and has played in orchestras around the world, but Ballarat (and Hopscotch) is a cracking place to come home to. 🎻 When he's not playing, eating or drinking, he likes travelling, reading, and plotting Hopscotch's path to world domination. ✈️ 📖 🌍 🔥 While plotting our world domination Chris can always be found drinking our yummy flat whites ☕️
