This is a fun half day session where Sue will show you how to make a living wreath, one that will last, continuing to grow and develop new flowers and foliage. Certainly not a "throw-away" decoration. Once made, keep it moist and it will stay beautiful for weeks. You will learn how to create your living wreath (it could even be a table centre at the weekend!), using moss, bedding plants and other foraged elements. All materials and bedding plants are included in the material fee and will be provided by the tutor but please bring anything from your garden such as twigs, interesting foliage or grasses or any special items you may wish to incorporate in your wreath. There is a £15 material fee payable on the day to cover the cost of wreath rings, moss and wire and bedding plants to make a single 12-14inch wreath. Please note there is no lunch included for this half day session. Please click on the link below to see a list of items to bring if needed.

Straw Marquetry - veneered bud vase

Join Ian, a master Strawcraftsman, for a fascinating one-day introduction to the traditional craft of Straw Marquetry. With over 50 years of experience working with straw, Ian brings a deep knowledge of this intricate and beautiful technique, along with a passion for sharing its history and practice. Throughout the day, you will be guided through the preparation and handling of straw, learning how this humble material has been transformed into decorative surfaces for centuries. Ian will explore the historical background of straw marquetry, offering context and insight into its place within traditional decorative arts. The workshop is highly practical, with step-by-step tuition, demonstrations, and individual guidance. By the end of the day, each participant will have created a veneered bud vase, showcasing the natural colour, sheen, and pattern of straw marquetry to take home. All materials are provided, and no prior experience is necessary - just patience, care, and an interest in traditional craft. Please note: this workshop involves the use of extremely sharp blades and craft knives. For safety reasons, it is strictly 18+ only.

A Practical Introduction to Cyanotype Print Making

Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue print. It is literally a “dark blue impression”. Cyanotype images are made using light-sensitive chemicals to produce the permanent ‘blue print’. Join Kirstie for this fascinating workshop and learn the entire cyanotype process, from preparing chemicals to making photograms using a range of different found objects and natural forms. You’ll explore using sunlight (weather permitting!) and a UV lightbox to produce a range of prints onto paper and textile samples. After demonstrations of the process, spend the day experimenting and refining your photograms. By the end of the day you will have a good understanding of the process and a wonderful collection cyan-blue prints to take home and use in other projects such as card making, textile art or collage. Kirstie will provide all the information you'll need on where to purchase the chemicals so you can carry on this very accessible note there is a £5 materials charge payable on the day to cover the chemicals, paper, fabrics and a range of found materials and objects to use. If you have any objects you would like to try and make images with, do bring them along!
