You will learn to make your own notebook and create a series of prompted collages inspired by Civic House’s wonderfully contrasting surroundings. She’ll guide and educate, talk about the history of print and paper and leave you with your mind feeling full!

Slow Stitch Studio will host ‘Textiles: Patchwork Quilting, Structure + Organic Shapes in Fabric’ (10am – 12.30pm)

Join Eva from Slow Stitch Studio to play with beautiful scraps of fabric and stitch your own small quilt to display on your wall or develop further into something larger. Eva will talk you through techniques of patchwork and stitches to use. You’ll gather ideas and develop your designs all under the gaze of her knowledge and expertise. She’ll guide and educate, talk about the history of quilting and leave you with your mind feeling full!

Steph Liddle will host ‘Ceramics: Surface Pattern + Illustration on Cast Ceramics’ (1.30pm – 4pm)

Join Steph Liddle to gather inspiration from the wonderful architecture and nature surrounding Civic House, learn how Steph slip casts her pottery and work on your own surface and pattern designs to decorate your ceramic piece.

No ceramic experience is necessary – Steph will be providing pre-made ceramic forms for you to work on, but anyone working in clay is welcome to bring their own greenware or bisque fired work.
