Come along this Wednesday, or the following one (11th or 18th August from 10:30 -12:30) to share your ideas, have fun, and chat over a cup of tea!

Over a series of 3 exciting workshops I will be working with lots of people to create a piece of artwork which is all about seeing the potential in rubbish…

I will talk a little bit about how I work and then we’ll get stuck in to making and gluing and stitching beautiful things for the artwork! You can come to one workshop or all three, and they are open to children and adults – the more the merrier!
