Kintsugi
2024-09-14 10:00 - 13:00 UTC
Event: Kintsugi
Date: Sat 14th September 2024
Other dates: Sat 20th July 2024
Time: 10-1pm
Duration: 3 hours Price: £45
Ideal Age: 18+ What’s Included: All materials, including a piece of Japanese inspired pottery, tuition
Summary: We need to become more aligned with the concept that something being “broken” does not mean that it is useless. Nor do we have to see the concept of actually restoring something as making it ‘as new’.
Kintsugi teaches us that in life we can turn adversity into something that is beautiful and resilient and shows us that in time, we can heal from our wounds, embrace our imperfections, and become stronger.
Kintsugi known as the golden repair translates as ‘kin’ meaning gold and ‘tsugi’ meaning ‘join’.
Using a 2 part epoxy glue, premium non toxic and gold powder we will repair a Japanese inspired piece of pottery which will be provided for you.
We will take our time and gently convert our bowl into a beautiful piece to display and cherish reminding us that no matter our difficulties, we can find a way to reframe and find meaning in life.

Fabric Basket Workshop - Level 1
2024-05-29 18:00 - 20:00, 2024-05-15 18:00 - 20:00 UTC
Event: Fabric Basket Workshop
Date: Wed 15th May 2024 & Wednesday 29th May | 6-8pm
Other Dates: Sunday 16th June 2024 | 11-3pm
Duration: 4 hours over two x 2 hour sessions
Cost: £45
Ideal age: 18 years+
Format: This workshop can be done by complete beginners although suitable for experienced crafters alike.
We will create a coil basket with a handle using fabric that you will source and bring along. All other materials and equipment will be provided. You will need 1 yard x 54” fabric of choice. You can choose to combine fabric colours and patterns if you choose. Choose fabric that is ideally cotton or close weave as it will fray less and possibly rip easier. If you like a frayed look, go for a looser weave. If your fabric doesn’t rip, it will be cut into strips.
You will be shown how to prep your material, how to start your coil base, the best way to create a secure base, create sturdy straight sides and to neatly finish the basket. Then we will create the handle using wire and jute cord.
This is the perfect little basket to start your addictive coil basket hobby! We will go on to list other larger basket workshops and ones using macrame cord so this is the ideal introductory workshop to start as a beginner.

Who would this suit? Anyone who loves crafting or likes up cycling as you can use up old bedding sheets and duvets and old garments.
