  Intaglio Printing (Etching with Perspex)

  from £26.00

  Intaglio printing is often referred to as drypoint etching. During this workshop we will be use pointed tools to etch (cut and mark) an acetate plate. The burr we create in the acetate will help hold ink in the recessed areas. Once etched, we will ink up and print our plate using an etching press.

  We’ll be using a variety of lovely papers in our printing process, taking care to notice the differences that dampening the paper can make while printing.

  This etching process requires you to hand draw marks onto your plate. If you feel free hand drawing is not your strong point, we have plenty of reference images you may use. The acetate we have is crystal clear and perfect for tracing an image for beginners or for those that just want to jump straight into the process without the worry of drawing out an image.

  Beverages and light snacks are included as are all materials. This workshop is suitable for all ages.

  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.
