'Fiddly Factor' 1
Remember printing with potatoes as a kid? Well a bit like the telephone, things have moved on somewhat!
This craft really is addictive, so very simple but beautiful all at the same time.
During these 2 hours of pure joy, you'll have a comprehensive demonstration of how to print onto fabric using hand carved wooden blocks from India, in an array of designs. Then you'll have the chance to practice the technique onto scrap material before designing and printing your very own special item.
Once you're comfortable with the technique of wooden block printing, using a range of contemporary paint colours, follow the simple satisfying process of dabbing your blocks with fabric paint and printing onto your chosen fabric item.
We can provide blank tea towels, tote bags, and re-useable gift bags to print on for birthdays and Christmas.
Having a baby shower? We can bring along little baby grows for each guest to print on and give to mum2be for the ultimate keepsake - cute!
Your beautiful fabric item will be dry in a jiffy, it then just needs to be heat set with a hot steam iron when you get home, then its completely ready to use and washable too.
Time permitting, you will have the option to print your own co-ordinating gift tag and bag supplied as part of your kit - a super personal touch if you want to give your hand printed item as a present.
'Fiddly Factor' 3
During this 2 hour workshop you will create up to 3 gorgeous co-ordinating bracelets which you can wear individually or stacked together.
All materials will be provided, which include a range of polymer clay discs, sparkly accent beads, a choice of charms, stretchy elastic, rulers for measuring, tools for cutting and finishing and gift packaging.
Together you will learn how to measure these easy to wear, stretchy bracelets for the perfect fit and go wild designing the look to your taste or, if you have creative block simply follow our sample looks.
We have a rainbow of colours and styles to choose from, contemporary greys, whites and neutrals, classic black for that classy evening vibe or summer brights - perfect for holidays. Just let us know at the time of booking which style you're going for.
Wow - you made that? You'll have compliments every time you wear your pretty stacking bracelets!
You get to take home your perfect creation in a rather fetching jewellery pouch, or if you can bear to give it away, this makes a lovely gift for someone special.
'Fiddly Factor' 3
As a young child I absolutely fell in love with felt as a medium. Soft, tactile and really versatile.
Choose one 2.5 hour workshop from either Needle Felting or Wet Felting.
Discover the art of sculpting with felt and create a simply gorgeous miniature model of a woodland creature or if you don't trust yourself with sharp objects try wet felting - the almost magical process of adding soap and water to wool fibres to create a truly wonderous felt pod.
Needle Felting
This is the process of poking the living daylights out of wool fibres using a very sharp needle!
You'll get to make a miniature woodland creature, as we walk you through each stage of building up your model using templates and finishing touches for the cutest keepsake.
Wet Felting
Good hand strength and some elbow grease are required as you work soap and water into felt fibres which we then cut and shape into a round pod style holder.
I have felt pods and miniature felt woodland creatures galore at home.
It might just be me, but I love gazing at their warm, fuzzy beauty, I'm sure you'll feel the same once your creation is finished.
You'll take home your felted sculpture carefully wrapped, and in a nice bag, just in case there's a small chance you might want to gift it to someone more special than you ... but I doubt it.
'Fiddly Factor' 2
Who doesn't love a biscuit. Let alone a beautifully iced little number that screams "eat me "!
Our 2 hour biscuit decorating workshop will teach you the techniques for using either flood icing, or roll out fondant to decorate your yummy treats.
No baking* required, we will provide the scrummy vanilla flavoured biscuit bases, and you'll be let loose with the piping bag to unleash your artistic juices.
*Use of a fan oven is required if choosing flood icing method.
You will be provided with the full kit and kaboodle which includes coloured piping icing, greaseproof baking paper for practising your steady hand technique on, and of course up to 6 shaped and flavoured biscuits for your finished product to take home.
Following a demonstration you'll first practise on greaseproof paper then its your chance to shine and get piping your own treats to the design and colours pre - specified at the time of booking.
We're really not sure these delectable delicacies are even going to make it back home! But if you're stronger willed than us and you don't munch through them on route, you will take your special treats home in a flat gift box safe for travel and even... if you can bear it... ready to gift to a lucky someone in your life.
Regrettably we cannot guarantee food provided is nut safe as baking takes place in a kitchen where other foods are prepared.
Full list of ingredients can be provided on request
