A Long Weekend Craft Bonanza - The Workshop - Day 1 part 3

The Workshop

Run  by Make, do and Mend, our instructor Joe was fabulous with just enough information to inform and inspire but not so much that you would feel lectured, even the safety bit was handled with humour.

What I liked most was the really solid fast paced introduction to Lino Printing.

I definitely plan to try and join the longer worker when it next runs in February 2012.

Screenprinting - what a rush

I have just completed my 5th week of my silk screen-printing course at the Morely, and I am loving it.

Although the process is very structured, at the same time the experience feels so organic.

Have a look at what I have done so far.

As this is only a 6 week course I only have one week left, which I will definately be making the most of and as for next term, I have all ready signed up.

Fascinating new skill

Make your own Fascinator - is the two hour evening course offered at Craft London that I took this Monday. Although it wasn't a traditionally structured course, I enjoyedd the way it was presented, Katherine the instructor started by showing us examples of looks and some of the creative possibilities available to us. She then quickly went through what fabrics, beads, and other stuff then let us loose. She and her helpers made themselves available throughout the time. I really enjoyed the freedom of be creative. I think I will be wearing my new handmade fascinator out this weekend.

Soap Making

I have just finished my introduction to soap making at the Make Lounge and wow, I loved it. The course has completely opened my eyes to the skill, science, passion and craft that is making soap. I will upload my photos of my soap once they have finished curing.
