How lovely is this? By our @jackieshackson. 🦡🌿 Jackie is our printmaking tutor and also has some of her own delightful framed prints for sale in our retail corner. 😊🛍 She is a fine art and printmaking graduate and her work explores Welsh identity though a study of folklore and tradition, with her current work inspired by life on the Ceredigion coast. 🌊🍃 Pop in to see her work in the shop or if you’d like to have a go at printmaking yourself we have upcoming lino, collagraph and drypoint workshops with Jackie. 🧡💫 •

Oh the fun we have making clothes with Angela! 👗 😂
Our improver sewing course also known as technical sewing is happening again later this month (September 28th - 30th) at @stiwdio3cafe and we still have a few spaces left if you’d like to join us! 🙌😊 This workshop is an improver course for any of you who like to sew but may not have the confidence to take on difficult projects. For example unusual seams, darts and zips, openings and pluckers. We ask you to bring along a sewing project to complete in the afternoons so that you have tutor @apitchthecloth helping with any technical problems you might face. ✍️✂️ •

This Sunday (25th) we have the lovely @imomills70 at @stiwdio3cafe where she’ll be teaching bead and ribbon making...
💫
Boro bead making - Boro stitch is a well celebrated Japanese method of stitching to strengthen worn out cloth. Work with indigo fabric, rolling into beads and stitching on to them. 💫
Yarn ribbon construction - By using up recycled scraps of fabric and a little machine or hand stitch, you can learn to make your own unique ribbon yarns, for use in craft projects or edgings and trimmings for clothes.
💫
Each workshop is 2 hours long and £34. 🧵
