Eco-Printing Workshops
Explore ways to make botanical prints on fabric, using pounding and steaming techniques.
You'll take away one or two a sample pieces of printed fabric large enough to make a cushion with.
Raw Fleece Weaving Workshops
Learn how to make a basic peg loom, simple weaving and felting techniques with raw fleece straight off the sheep.
You'll weave a seat pad cushion in the workshop and go home with all the information you need to felt it thick and chunky, and inspiration to weave your own rug!
Clippy Mat / Rag Rug Workshops
Learn the traditional craft of making clippy mats (also known as proddy or proggy mats). It's a fantastic way of repurposing old clothes or unused pieces of fabric into rugs and decorative wreaths for all seasons (please note, these wreaths are not the type tying fabric to a metal frame).
You'll work fabrics into a sample sized piece of hessian or wreath-circle made from a reclaimed coffee sack using traditional tools, back it, and take it home along with inspiration to make your own full-sized clippy rug!
