Fabric Pinboard Make&Take Workshop

Description

Fabric Pinboard - Make&Take 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 48cm diameter pinboard 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 colour ways - we work with deadstock Linwood velvets, or if you prefer Hessian coffee sacks, sustainable cork sheeting & deadstock trims - there are a number of designs that you can follow, or create your own! Please note that in the images there are different size pinboards we will be working per the dimensions of the Grey & Orange pinboard, but there are very different configurations possible. We will be working in a mixed media use Studio which is double height and light filled - it is a very special space, you will be surrounded by ceramics, life drawing, sculpture and print works. We will work in a small group, and the emphasis is on 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 pinboard and a packet of colourful pins!

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!)
