Workshops

Want to learn a new craft, to know how to tackle that kit you've been gifted, or looking for a fab way to spend an afternoon? Look no further!

I host beginner workshops aimed at sharing the basic skills of crafts such as knitting, crochet and embroidery in a way that's relaxed, accessible and where possible - the chance to walk away with a finished project, for that instant gratification! Find more details of current workshops below.

These are the current workshops available - click via the links to book on Eventbrite or Obby or send me a message via the Contact page for private workshop requests! Happy to appear for corporate events, hen dos, baby showers, team days - you name it! 

The Company of Crafters

The  Company of Crafters  is a local evening started to give you some dedicated craft time, with the company of other creative individuals and a tasty beverage in a lovely environment.

If you've bought a kit and aren't sure how to get started, had a stubborn knit you've been procrastinating, or just want a bit of company whilst you make - this is for you. 

Each evening will have a theme and some specific projects and kits for purchase that will be closely guided through - but this really is your time. It's free to attend and you can bring anything you like to work on (provided it won't take up the whole space!). If you are in need of a project, see below for some fab ideas - everything is available to buy now and can be brought to you in the venue on the day. 

Our first location is Deptford does Art (@DeptforddoesArt)  - it' s lovely cafe/bar/gallery space on Deptford High Street which has a fab selection of cocktails and lots of space for crafting. RSVP on Eventbrite (click the pictures below to link through) to avoid disappointment. 


Workshops

These have a ticket price, which will include all the materials to make whatever is on the agenda and open to all crafty advancements!

Arm Knit a Blanket

We'll be knitting with Woolly Mahoosive's giant acrylic Mahoosive yarn - so big you use your arms as needles!

Your 2kgs of yarn will be enough for a blanket roughly 75 x 125cm with an option to knit wider or thinner for different dimension and more balls available on the day (for additional cost) if you want to go extreme!

There's lots of colours to choose from - and you can reserve your favourite in advance to reduce disappointment.

Learn to Knit Now!

The class will start with 60 minutes of knit 101. You'll learn to cast on, knit, purl and cast off with t-shirt yarn scraps to get a feel for the stitches and the motions with something easy to work with. Then when you're feeling confident with those stitches, you'll be supported on embarking on a project with super soft 100% merino wool! Start a scarf, hat, slipper socks - anything you like!

The class includes:-
  • 12mm bamboo knitting needles
  • 1 medium balls of Hoooked's Zpagetti t-shirt yarn 
  • A yarn needle 
  • Patterns for the beanie hat, hand warmers and slipper socks
  • 3 balls of Stitch and Story chunky merino wool (enough for a scarf)
  • All in a tote bag to take away 


Based in relaxed environments, you'll be able to come along, grab a drink from the bar and settle in to crafting at your own pace with all the support you require. 
Post-class assistance will be available via email and free local drop-in classes for any additional guidance required with your knits after class.


Embroider Your Own Meditation Eye Mask

Join Emily and learn several embroidery stitches that you can use to decorate your very own meditation eye mask cover. 

You'll be provided with a lavender or camomile eyes mask inner pouch, an embroidery hoop, needles and thread to take away and a linen/cotton blend base on which to embroider (after you've practiced on some scrap fabric!).

Observe, practice and then sketch out your own design and get to grips with this mindful and relaxing craft - creating something to enhance meditation practices, to help you to escape the stresses of a tough day or to gift to a loved one .
