We are in the process of compiling a programme of workshops for the Winter months here at 'Nest' ... and we would love to hear from you!
What would you like to learn, improve on, make, sew, paint etc?? I know, I know, the possibilities are endless!
At present, we have tentatively booked in a paper making tutor, print-maker, felter, weaver, silk painter and soap maker .... any other suggestions?
I am going to try and make each workshop a one-day course, as this seems to please most students, and keeps costs down.
And of course, you will be treated to a scrumptious lunch!

The completed embroidery will be suitable for framing as a panel. Previous experience with embroidery is not necessary.

Our first workshop!
Today 'Nest' hosted it's first workshop - Introduction to Lino Printing with Eva Rasmussen.
We had a small, yet eager group of students, keen to learn the basics of lino printing.
Eva guided the students through the process, and each went home with some great prints, both in colour and black/white.
We fitted a lot into the day - and I am sure the ladies will sleep well tonight!
Linda carefully carving her lino block ...
The ladies concentrating hard on their works ...
Eva demonstrating how to apply ink to the block ...
Rubbing the paper to apply the print ...
