Small Raffia Clutch - An Introduction to Raffia Craft
Description
Join tutor Claire Richards for an exciting new one day workshop discovering raffia craft. Raffia is a great craft material to work with and you are guaranteed a mindful day of switching off and enjoying the calm of crafting. During the workshop you will learn about where raffia comes from, how to dye raffia (everyone works with natural un-dyed raffia during the workshop) and how flexible and forgiving it is as a craft material. You will make your own clutch bag and there will be options available for you to individually decorate your bag. Once you have mastered the plaiting and sewing skills you will see that there are many options for working with raffia, to making beautiful hats or a wide range of bags. You are welcome to bring a lidded bottle of water with you but we kindly ask that you do not bring food into the studio. Our on-site café Blend is open until 4pm each day.

Unfortunately, we do not have our own designated car park, however there are plenty around Cirencester. The nearest short stay car park is The Brewery Car Park which is approximately 2 minutes away and is a council run pay and display. This car park has several disabled parking spaces too. Sheep Street Car Park is a longer stay car park 3 minutes away, it is a cashless car park facilitated by Pay by Phone. Full details of all car parks and pricing can be found on Cotswold District Council Website.
We pride ourselves on smaller class sizes, so you get plenty of help from the tutors. Maximum 8-10 students per class.
