Step back in time in the historic Calverley Old Hall Community Space for a relaxing afternoon of Tudor blackwork embroidery with expert Jessica Heywood. Immerse yourself in this traditional sewing style, discovering the fascinating history and modern relevance of backstitching.
Join us at Calverley Old Hall Community Space to try something new in this full day workshop. Led by rag rugging tutor, Kim, from Darn It! Workshops, come along to join like-minded people to learn new skills, or develop your existing skills.
In this beginner friendly session you'll learn two versatile rag rug techniques which you will use to make a piece of wall art, homewares, a brooch or more. Kim will guide you through the techniques, advise you on your final piece design and support you throughout this friendly, sociable session.
Music at Heart is an award-winning, non-profit music school based in Chapel Allerton, Leeds. Our vision is to nurture a child’s lifelong love of music, by providing quality musical experiences to babies, toddlers and children in the early years. Using the Kodály approach to music education, we create community through singing, movement and instrumental playing in our gentle and inclusive classes.
You’re invited to take part in this beginner-friendly, relaxing afternoon of creating artwork and playing music together with musician Tom Hawkins.
First, you will produce a unique artwork using bright colours and bold shapes inspired by the architecture within Calverley Old Hall. You will then transform your artworks into pieces of music (or Graphic Scores) using both traditional acoustic instruments and found objects.
Come and join us for a relaxing afternoon of creativity at our Calligraphy & Watercolour workshop with Grace Joanna!
Enjoy getting out and trying something new, as you find space to slow down and learn the art of watercolour and beautiful hand-lettering in a relaxed and friendly environment.
