Let's share the madness and the passion in this changing time of half-light, shadows, lowering sun, and gathering dusk. Workshop will throw up ideas about introducing light and dark into your book. Perfect if you're making shadow books, grimoires or your book of autumn and winter change.
It'll be a wonderfully meandering two-hour session of threads, papers, nets and textiles. Send me a message to join: knickerdrawernotebook@gmail.com
Questions you might ask!
Do I need to bring anything?
Just a sense of fun and a bit of patience with the tutor (who lost her discipline of time a long time ago). I'll offer a box of bizarre, curious and beautiful objects for you to choose and take away.
I usually don't supply tea or coffee because drink-making takes up our interesting time. We do supply water (and maybe a box of fruit juice if I remember to bring it along). Short instruction for drinks etc: Bring your own!
Will I see Knicker Drawer Note Books?
Yes. After my first workshop (when I forgot to bring them along), I'll definitely put some out.
Do I need to have any sewing experience?
No. Some people arrive with vastly more professional experience then me, and some people need helping on the needle threading bit. We'll help each other as necessary, and, if you want to try bookbinding with staples, glue, or sticks, I can have them too.
How do I pay?
I'll send an email a couple of days before with instructions, but you do not need to pay on first booking.
Where are workshops held?
Can I bring friends / family / my craft buddies and make a party of it?
Yes, if you're all booked in. If you'd like to make a special craft party event, let me know and I'll see if the space is free on your preferred date. If it's a surprise event for your guests, tell me, then I'll not assume they know why they've been locked in a room with me.
Can my teenager come with me?
Yes, free for teens when they accompany you. Because we all need to find ways to hold the feel of a book in our heads and our hearts.
I'm coming along! How do I book?
Let's make it official! Send an email to Ms Knickerdrawers : knickerdrawernotebook@gmail.com
Then I'll send you an email confirming date, time, event. Done!
Love, Margaret Knickerdrawers.
