HANDMADE 2015: A Festival of Making is happening here in Wellington in June. I'll be teaching three workshops: 

Hand-carved stamps and hand-printing (I made the silk top above with fabric printed in last year's class)

Bear or rabbit (soft toy making)

Elementary embroidery (perfect for beginners!)

There will also be lots of other really great classes, lectures, workshops and handmade stuff. All set in our lovely capital city (just bring your warm coat + handknits, enjoy the galleries, music and cafes when you're not at workshops.)

I hope you can join us! I'd love to see you at a workshop.

    Melissa,
    May I ask, what do you wind your threads on, as in the above photo? As I get more embroidery materials, I’ve a need for a similar storage. Thank you!
