Make/do Workshops Update… & prizes!

Just 2 weeks into our pop-up, we have had some great workshops, and some happy crafters going home with new skills & homewares. See the photos on our facebook page.

Here are some of the new & updated classes coming up this week, including prizes to be won…

Knitting – For all abilities: Tues 10th @7.45pm

No previous experience necessary, but also perfect for those who just need a refresher, or want to learn the next steps, tips & techniques. In this class you’ll get all you need to knit a cosy pair of arm warmers designed by our own Tegwen. Come armed (geddit!!) with any knitting queries you have.

Sign up for this class and you will be in with a chance to go home with a handmade needle roll full of knitting needles, plus a needle gauge, ready for the next project you take on… and the one after that! The lucky winner will be chosen from a hat… very technical!

upcycled vintage tea cup pin cushions – #makedo42

New Year’s day 2014 saw the beginning of a social media trend for the #100days of happiness, posting one photo everyday for 100 days showing something that makes you happy.
Then along comes May, and the third incarnation of the #MeMadeMay hashtag, wearing something everyday for the month of may that you have made, and posting photos.

– Craft makes us happy.
– We love making things, to wear, (or for the home or the kids).
– The make/do pop-up runs for 42 days.
