  Amigurumi is the Japanese art of crocheting small stuffed creatures. It is derived from the Japanese words ‘AMI’ meaning crocheted or knitted and ‘NUIGURUMI’ meaning stuffed doll.

  A basic ability in crochet is required for this workshop, it is not suitable for those who have never picked a crochet needle before. The key skills we  will be covering will be crocheting in spiral rounds, creating a magic ring and making invisible decreases.

  Christmas Crafting With The Magpies – Saturday 7th December 10am – 5.30pm

  £65.00

  IT’S CHRISTMAS!! Christmas is the Magpies’ favourite time of year, so how could we not have a extra special christmas crafting session. Our usual 5 crafts in one day, plus mulled wine and mince pies galore. WOW!! Yes, we are that excited we needed to put it in captial letters. These crafts have been specifically chosen to work within a hour time frame each. You need absolutely NO crafting experience at all to join in. All materials are provided and each craft has a specialist tutor to help and guide you through each session.

  On arrival at 10.00am at The Flour Mill Studio (there is a flight of steps to climb to access the studio), you’ll be greeted with a mulled wine and a mince pie. We’ll start with a brief introduction and plan of the day.

  At 10.15am we’ll start our first craft, you will be working in groups of 6 – 8 per table, but you will do your craft individually. You will have a 15 minute introduction and demo of each craft and then 45 minutes to complete your item. After an hour at each table, the gong will sound and it’s time to move to the next craft!

  We will break at half 12 for a well deserved light lunch provided by a lovely local cafe (christmas cake is 100% involved).

  At 1.30pm we will continue with two more craft sessions until 4.00pm when we will stop for another glass of mulled wine or a nice brew (and of course more chrimbo cake).

  4.30pm will be the start of our final craft and at the stroke of 5.30pm the final gong will sound and it’s time to relax, with a good cup of tea of course. You will be very welcome to chat to our tutors about the crafts from the day and ask any questions. We use this time to have a look at all the lovely work completed throughout the day.

  The 5 crafts we have chosen for this event are:

  Vintage Fabric Nordic Tomte

  Free Standing Wooden Robin

  Resin Brooch or Tree Decoration

  Paper Flower Indoor Wreath

  Marbled Ceramic Baubles

  If all of this excitement isn’t enough we have one more surprise! Every event attendee will receive a branded Two Little Magpies badge and cotton bag, just perfect for taking your finished crafts home in.

  The light lunch will consist of fresh wraps, sandwiches and soup plus savoury and sweet nibbles. Please let us know of any dietry requirements as we are inclusive to all and will cater for all and any needs.

  Beginners Embroidery

  from £26.00

  On this two hour workshop, you will be encouraged to create your own unique project using basic embroidery stitches.

  This course is suitable for those who have never threaded a needle before. If already have  experience in embroidery, but have become a little rusty, then it is a fabulous course for reigniting the love for slow stitching. We can also teach more complicated stitches for those with previous experience.

  We will start by discussing the different terms in embroidery and the many thread types available.  We provide a huge selection of template to choose from that have already been applied to fabric so we can jump straight into the fun part. No art skills needed! We will all start with a basic backstitch, which is the perfect foundation stitch for beginners. We will then teach up to 5 further embroidery stitches so you can make your embroidered piece as complicated or simple as you wish, you have free reign over colours and style.

  Our stash of threads and embellishments is rather large, including ribbons, sequins, beads, buttons and gems. We encourage you to jump in and find the perfect additions for your embroidery.

  Embroidery isn’t a fast craft and it is unlikely that you will finish your project in this two hour session. You will take home your project and hoop to complete at home, plus a lovely mini stash of needles and threads and two extra templates to continue your new found addiction.

  Tea and biscuits plus all materials are provided, suitable for ages 8 and over.
