Hello fellow Foragers, we have 2 events coming up in August.
On Saturday the 10th from 2 – 4pm Joanna Faber will be demonstrating her Hand Stitched Books made with Eco Printed Papers. In addition to her Eco Dyeing skills, Joanna is a master papermaker and keen photographer of Austrailia’s beautiful Birds and flowers. We stock Joanna’s vibrant prints on handmade paper in multiple formats, from gift cards up to framed prints.

The workshop covers:

Last call for the Lino Print, Cut and Colour Workshop with local Printmaker Megan Grinstead.
This workshop, being held on Saturday 24th is almost fully booked. So if you want to explore (or re-visit) the wonderful, low-tech medium of lino printing head straight over to our website.
Using Ezy carve printing blocks, Megan will teach you how to transfer an image of your creation onto a block, then print and hand-colour your artwork. You will be investigating the symbolism of plants, collaging images together, block printing onto paper, and much more!
This month we are also having a Red Dot Sale in Store with selected items reduced by 10% – 30% so it’s a great time to come in for an explore. Otherwise visit our online store.
Finally mark the date for the evening of Thurs October 3rd when we will be celebrating local potters and ceramicists. Watch this space for more details.
