Discover Sashiko at September’s Friday Crafternoon!

*Fully booked*
Waiting list started for an additional session - date TBC

Join us at the Old Library for a hands-on introduction to Sashiko, the beautiful Japanese art of decorative stitching.

Whether you’re a beginner or have dabbled before, this workshop is a fantastic way to learn new skills, relax, and create something unique.

Sashiko is a mindful, meditative craft—great for upcycling, mending clothes, or making your own textile art. You’ll leave with your own stitched piece and the skills to keep stitching at home.

Spaces are limited, so please book early: www.ticketsource.co.uk/intobodminthingstodo/t-ganlval.

Come and take part in a wonderful journaling workshop led by the amazing Suzanna Jay, aka The Wild Scribe, - who is part of an immense journaling community on Instagram. Perfect for all ages and all levels of journaling experience.

Working in any little A6 notebook or journal insert that you should choose to bring along, this workshop will focus on how to set up your own Garden or Botanical journal.

This journal workshop is specifically aimed at encouraging us all to get outdoors more; to enjoy our local woodlands & parks and to celebrate nature within our own gardens! Let's try to take a little more notice of the beautiful local flora that surrounds us every day, and take heart from the miniature works of art growing courageously beneath our feet throughout each and every season.

please book early to avoid disappointment.
