Welcome to the wonderful work of fermention! On this workshop you will learn how to ferment your own veggies and make delicious fermented beverages (non-alcoholic). We will talk about the benefits of fermented food for health and wellbeing and your fantastic microbiome. There will also be the chance to taste some pickled veggies, sauerkraut and kombucha. If that wasn’t enough, you will also make some kimchee and kombucha to take home. You will also get a piece of kombucha scoby!

A great way to taste and learn about the wonders of fermented food.

Please bring 2 Kilner jars of 500ml to this event!

Come along and discover a way to take a break from the daily hustle and bustle, make time for yourself and practice mindfulness through hand embroidery.

At this workshop, you will create a simple hoop design using hand embroidery by learning a few basic stitches. I will take you through the process step by step, so you can work at your own pace.

You’ll finish the workshop with a new set of skills, but also with a new found joy and confidence in your creative abilities, and a way to use crafts to feel calmer and more centred in your day to day life.

Enjoy a relaxing, creative day learning how to design and create real silver jewellery with Melanie Blaikie.

During the day you will be working with clay-type silver and will complete two projects, such as a pendant & earrings or a bracelet and a brooch, which will be ready to wear by the end of the class. Silver ‘clay’ is re-cycled, pure silver which is easy to work with, even for complete beginners.

Prepare to be amazed as you turn ‘clay’ into real silver – plenty of fun and creative inspiration guaranteed!

Melanie Blaikie is an author, maker and jewellery designer who has been sharing her skills since 2010. Her book ‘Silver Clay Workshop’ is an Amazon best seller and she is also a regular guest designer on Jewellery Maker TV.
