Sharon Regan came along to Kiri Cottage Craft club this morning to run a seashell and resin workshop. It was very enjoyable, and a bit challenging to those like myself who had not painted anything since school!
Kiri Cottage Crafts Club on 18 June 2024 will be a workshop with Sharon Regan Art. We will be working with seashells and resin – see photo below. Cost is £10 and the workshop will run from 10am – 1pm.
I ran a Nalbinding workshop at Turnip House on Saturday and had 6 talented and enthusiastic students.
All picked up the technique really quickly, and between tea, coffee and Turnip House special soup, scones and cake we made great progress.
One lovely lady took her project home and finished it, and now has a nalbinded ear warmer for walking her dogs in the cold weather.
Kiri Cottage Crafts is partnering with Turnip House to offer a Nalbinding with lunch workshop. This is a form of early Scandinavian knitting, often associated with the vikings.
Limited to 6 participants. Book now!
Next meeting dates are:
Tuesday 27 February 10am – 1pm
Tuesday 12 March 10am – 1pm
Tuesday 26 March 10am – 1pm
Tuesday 9 April 10am – 1pm
Tuesday 23 April 10am – 1pm
Here is a brand new Nalbinding workshop at Kiri Cottage Crafts. This is a form of early Scandinavian knitting, often associated with the vikings. This is Oslo stitch, one of many Nalbinding stitches.
I’ve been working on two art batts today, created on my Brother Drum Carder.
I’m looking forward to spinning these later today.
These are a mixture of wool, bamboo, tencel, recycled sari silk and trilobal for a bit of sparkle. Pretty!
I have recently completed a couple of commissions. One for two pet sheep (spun and dyed) and one for alpacas.
We had patchwork at Kiri Cottage craft club this morning, and a lovely ‘show and tell’ piece of stitching – a row of houses ready to be framed.
This afternoon we worked with peg looms, to create sample rag rugs. Really quick, easy and effective way to do produce pretty rugs with the added advantage of recycling old clothes, curtains, bed linen and any other scraps of materials in your stash!
