DOUBLE WEEKENDER workshops

For those you of not on holiday at the moment or perhaps spending your holiday in Hackney, I've planned some special double weekender activities!
Starting this weekend with a YARD SALE. Come and nosey around Fabrications back yard and make me an offer on more delights cleared out of Fabrications vaults! Including Belfast sinks, sheet perspex, wood, scaffolding + fittings, paint, DIY stuff and lots of other random items.

The idea of the double weekender workshops is to provide one technique per weekend. On the Saturday a quick taster session at our activity stall in Broadway Market's new extension in London Fields primasry school with a longer masterclass at Fabrications on the Sunday. Come along to one or both!

Saturday 28th + Sunday 29th August - 'Create a fabulous fascinator'

SATURDAY: Book in for 1hr teaching slots - 10 - 11am, 11.30 - 12.30pm, 1 - 2pm, 2.30 - 3.30pm *
In this session using a selection of vintage materials and haberdashery you will learn how to create a base and then decorate it from a choice of veiling, feathers, flowers and beading.
PRICE: £10 (includes one of my fascinator kits worth £10)

* There is a gazebo, tables and chairs. The activity is suitable for all ages and abilities. To
ensure a space please book in advance, however if you are a spontaneous kind of person we will try and fit you in on the day if there's space!

SUNDAY: At Fabrications, 2 - 4.30pm
You will also learn how to create base but we will show some extra decoration techniques such as how to make feathery flowers from scarves and different bows.
PRICE: £20/£15 (includes one of my kits and tea + biscuits)

Saturday 4th + Sunday 5th September - 'WEAVE WORLD'

SATURDAY: Book in for 1hr teaching slots - 10 - 11am, 11.30 - 12.30pm, 1 - 2pm, 2.30 - 3.30pm *
In this session using a selection of upcycled materials you will learn how to warp up a simple bamboo frame loom and then how to weave your own unique piece of cloth.
PRICE: £10 (includes one of my weaving kits worth £10)

* There is a gazebo, tables and chairs. The activity is suitable for all ages and abilities.
To ensure a space please book in advance, however if you are a spontaneous kind of person we will try and fit you in on the day if there's space!

In the weave world masterclass I will show you a very simple but effective weaving technique I've developed from strips of old clothing, ribbons etc to create woven panels ideal for cushion fronts, quilting projects, accessories and more....
