Workshops For City of Craft 2008, we are pleased to offer free workshops all day. These workshops are open to the public and are presented in conjunction with local businesses and artisans. All workshops are in the Craft Lab (Upstairs at the Theatre Cantre) and have been graciously programmed by our workshop mistress, Angelune Des Lauriers. * * * Master Schedule
* * * Origami Star Book*
This unusual little booklet is the perfect housing for a special letter, poem or anything that requires some dressing up! We will be using our beautiful stencil dyed katazome-shi papers to make the covers and will be learning a variation that turns this little wonder into an ornament. Once you learn this simple technique you can make this book in any size with any number of signatures. *This workshop is limited to 15 participants and will be dealt with on a first-come-first-served basis. * * * Fabric-Covered Magnets
Make a sweet set of four fabric-covered magnets with the workroom, using leftover scraps of fabric. A simple, thrifty, yet useful gift that is easy to make for all ages and skills. Each magnet set will be housed in a custom laser-cut card with a holiday message, ready for giving. * * * Felted Ornament
Using old sweaters and glass beads, create a Scandinavian inspired ornament. Learn how use a simple pattern, how do the blanket stitch and how create a stuffed shape. Perfect for giving new life to accidently felted sweaters! * * * Screenprinted Cards & Gift Tags* The workshop will cover some of the basic screenprinting techniques, as well creating stencils to customize you own design. Participants will be able to take turns and print their cutout designs to create small greeting cards or gift tags. Kid Icarus will supply paper, along with a few different colours to experiment with. *This workshop is limited to 12 participants and will be dealt with on a first-come-first-served basis. |
