What goes on at a typical workshop?
There are three 'Pimp my ...' workshops and one Christmas Special. As a
general rule we will present the workshop outline with plenty of examples and
clear demonstrations, where you will;
- Observe 3 different historical techniques (nothing is new in craft)
- View a range of contemporary samples
- Create a vintage inspired item for each of the 3 techniques.
- Learn 3 new skills (that don't involve any crafting)
- Provided with 3 work packs containing pre-cut materials for each of the techniques
- Leave with a total of six new skills and techniques, 3 vintage inspired products, instructions for 6 more projects, some like minded crafting friends…
- …AND a handmade couture gift from the Minister's.
