Coffee, Craft & Cake Evening

Craft Workshop: Saturday 30th July, 7pm

Learn how to up-cycle glass bottles or jars ready to become candle holders or vases, a perfect way to set the scene for late summer alfresco dining with friends and family!

This workshop is great for beginners and upwards. We'll be using the traditional handicraft of macrame (tying lots of knots by hand) to create beautiful coastal inspired bottles or jars.

A chance to take some time out for yourself and be creative. All materials and work space are provided along with coffee & cake! There will be a selection of bottles and jars of different shapes and sizes to choose from and by the end of the workshop you'll take home your very own up-cycled creation along with the 'know how' to make many more!

Story Frames

I’m currently working on a really special project to create bespoke artwork that incorporates fabric patches from your treasured items of clothing to capture the memories they hold within a 'story frame’.

For example; baby clothing from their first year, off-cuts of wedding attire and outfits only worn that once, special items belonging to a loved one who has passed away...

— all things people find it hard to part with, which generally end up in the loft or cupboard, stored away.

BUT through a bespoke 'story frame’ these pieces can be given a new lease of life and protect & cherish those memories for years to come...

The story frames are about celebrating and treasuring life's great moments, but my hope is that the remembrance 'story frames' will also help individuals and families through one of the really tough times in our lives by giving them something familiar and physical to hold onto. A connection, a way to celebrate that person and their relationship - it could feature a favourite saying, perhaps a phrase their loved one used that always brought a smile...

Please share the 'story frame’ link - it would be great to help make a difference and to cherish those memories and the stories they hold.

'Story Frames' can be commissioned at my Etsy shop - send a truly unique gift
