Description
Coffee Sack Pinboard - Make&Take LEWES Workshop, keeping it round! A friendly fun filled session of making - working with modern and traditional upholstery tools and techniques - and sustainable and eco-minded materials. We will make a round modern upholstered 60/50 or 40cm diameter pinboard (you choose), for you to take away on the day. We will affix a sawtooth hook to the reverse, so that the pinboard can then be hung on a standard picture hook. You will have a choice of original hessian coffee sacks, sustainable cork sheeting & quality french elastic to make your own unique design. We will be working in a mixed media use Studio, at the very beautiful Taith Coffee Shop, on Lewes High Street. We will work in a small group, and the emphasis is on fun, learning together and creating something beautiful and useful.
What's included in the price?
All tools and materials for use on the day, everyone takes home their own cork pinboard!

Maker
I live in Lewes, and have been running a furniture and textile business making simply designed contemporary pieces. One of those pieces, the birch wood footstool is an especial delight to make, it is simple, useful, light & beautiful. With none of the corners that so frustrate upholstery newcomers, I thought it made the perfect 1 day workshop experience. For after a ‘hard’ day learning, making, laughing, creating you get to take home and put your feet up on a foostool, and say “That was Rounded by Me’.

FAQs
Yes! It's a make and take course, so relax into your previous experience, and enjoy creating in a relaxed, friendly environment with the knowledge that you are going to complete a project within the session (and if you've upholstered before you'll know just how unusual that is!)
That's no problem, I will brief you on use of the tools, and the principles of upholstery, on hand throughout the session, to ensure you go home with something beautiful.
