Designer Maker Party

11/08/2021

After a long break, I am delighted to be bringing back my lampshade workshops to my Darlington and Bishop Auckland shops!

If you'd like to come and learn how we make lampshades, and make one for yourself with either one of my fabrics, and one of your own, then please book onto one of my workshops.

Please tag any friends you know who would be interested too

Did you know that not only can you book Kate and Gillian for a Designer-Maker selling party but that we can also come into your home to run workshops?

Kate ran an introduction to making jewellery workshop at Pod earlier in the week and had a grand old time teaching a group ranging from a little girl of 6 to a grandma. This is what one of the first time jewellery makers produced: isn't it great?

Kate and Gillian are falling headlong long into the Designer-Maker mayhem that precedes Christmas: a mix of Christmas fairs, markets, commissions and of course our Designer-Maker Parties.

We still have a limited amount of availability for Designer-Maker Parties: if you'd like to book one just drop us a line.

Kate's running an introduction to jewellery making workshop for kids (and adults) over half term at Pod in Bishop Auckland.

If you're interested drop her a line.

Are you looking for an activity for your kids during half term?

Check out Kate's great workshop which provides an introduction to jewellery making: the kids will leave with new skills, a pair of earrings and a charm bracelet whilst having had loads of fun.

Whilst they experiment you can sit back and enjoy some peace and quiet along with an excellent cup of coffee by Bean Grounded.

Oooooo look! Kate's been working on some new pieces. What do you think?

Do you remember that a while ago I showed you some doodles that I was thinking of turning into jewellery?
Well, this is my first play with the idea in acrylic.
They still need some work (especially the one with little circles on)....but they are well on the way.
Do you have a favourite?
