Check out these wonderful results from our most recent bag making workshop with @emmaholehouse !
This is the Fifi craft bag, super versatile, loads of pockets and conveniently has a fabric hood on the back so it can be slotted onto a wheely suitcase!
Tis our not so little any more kitten decided to spent a fair amount of time sleeping in the fabric scrap bin, definitely a fan of this class!
We have places on Emma's workshops later in the year, head to our website to book your place!
Next sewing workshop with availability is to make this beautiful satchel with the very talented @emmaholehouse
This workshop runs over two days on the 19th and 20th June.
Pippa is a piped and gusseted satchel in two sizes. You can make the small, simple version that tucks neatly under your arm or worn cross body. The larger size has a flapped pocket on the front. Both sizes have an optional zipped pocket on the back wall of the outer bag, a zipped top and additional pockets inside. There is a detachable and adjustable webbing strap.

Spent today at the “How to Paint Mountains” workshop at The Makers Mill in Keswick with local artist Hamish McLain. A really enjoyable day inspired by the Lake District fells - starting with sketching outside before building up layers of paint back in the studio.
Loads of experimenting with texture, colour and mark making, and great to step completely outside the usual routine for a few hours. Definitely came away with a new appreciation for how artists interpret the landscape around us.
Highly recommend if you fancy trying something creative in a relaxed, welcoming setting. 🎨⛰️

WOW look at the photos from our latest glass painting and sgraffito workshop with @nikkiclarkglass ! Incredible results!
Students started the day learning glass painting techniques and using these to painting a design onto a glass roundle. In the afternoon Nikki guided everyone through the process of using the sgraffito technique to etch away paint to create a relief image. All students work is taken away by Nikki at the end of the class to be leaded by her and are available to collect a few weeks later.
