Saturday 24 October: 9am-1pm Patchwork is a creative and resourceful craft that transforms fabric scraps into something new. Mirabel will guide you through composing and hand-sewing a small patchwork piece. Choose to make a coaster, pot holder, or needle case - or begin a larger piece to finish at home. Learning to improvise with scraps of any size or shape is a freeing way to make use of material that might otherwise go to waste. Mirabel will introduce you to colour selection and teach you the simple yet versatile running stitch used to piece your work together. You’ll leave with a beautifully handmade item and the skills to continue exploring patchwork at home. Please note All materials and tools will be provided. Food & Drink – Bring a water bottle to keep hydrated, and any food or snacks you may need over the course of the workshop. To observe tikanga, we ask that no food or hot drinks are consumed in the work space, a separate area will be available for breaks. This workshop is for adults aged 18 and older, or for young people aged 16–17 who attend with a supervising adult. Please note that if a young person attends, two workshop places must be purchased (one for the young person and one for the accompanying adult). Cancellation Bookings are non-refundable. If for any reason (this includes illness, travel delays, and injuries) you need to cancel your workshop, you will receive a refund minus a $30 administration fee. This is provided you contact us at least 14 full days before your booking. Please see our Cancellation Policy for more details. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are grateful to be able to offer this workshop because of support from Creative New Zealand.
