If you fancy making some noise and producing something lovely in copper as a result then this workshop with Oenone Randall is for you!  This workshop is suitable for children and adults.

When does this workshop run?  Two sessions will take place on Saturday 18 May: 11.00am to noon and in the afternoon from 2.00pm - 3.00pm.

What can I make in this workshop?    You can hammer words and patterns into a pre-cut copper shape to form a pretty hanging decoration - you can chose from a bird, butterfly, cup cake, house, or pear.  There are some photos at the end of this post to give you an idea and to spark your imagination!

Do I have to book?   No - just turn up.  If the table is busy when you arrive just wait until a place becomes free.  

How much does it cost:  £5 per shape.

How long will it take?  This depends on the level of decoration you want to add - putting a few words / motifs on a shape to decorate it takes 10 - 15 minutes max which gives yoou time to try one of the other three workshops that we are also running . . .

What you can do in this workshop? Cover a pre-cut wooden shape with 1cm mosaic tiles. You can chose from a heart, butterfly or elephant.  There will also be different options available in kit form to buy and take away if you catch the mosaic bug! 

Do I have to book?  No - just turn up. If the table is busy when you arrive just wait until a place becomes free.

Cost: £5 per shape

How long will it take? If you want to go for a random covering of mosaic tiles a shape can be completed in about half an hour - if you want to give a bit more thought to colour and placement of tiles then allow a bit more more time.  Why not try one of the other timed workshops that we have running too?

When does the felt-making workshop run? Two sessions will take place on Saturday 18 May: 11.00am to noon and in the afternoon from 2.00pm - 3.00pm.

What you can do in this workshop? wet felting to make a 'soap pocket' - basically fusing fibres around a bar of soap that will act as a nice light exfoliator in the shower - when the soap runs out you are let with a little felt pocket that can be used for other things. These make a lovely scented gift too!

Do I have to book? No - just turn up. If the table is busy when you arrive just wait until a place becomes free.

Cost: £5 per 'soap pocket'

How long will it take? We suggest you allow 15 to 20 minutes to complete each 'pocket' - which gives you time to try one of the other three workshops that we are also running . . .

Julia Hayward's workshop is suitable for children and adults.

When does this workshop run?  Two sessions will take place on Saturday 18 May: 11.00am to noon and in the afternoon from 2.00pm - 3.00pm.

What can I make in this workshop?    You can either make a small hanging fused glass decoration (see photos at the end of this post for ideas) or a 10cm x 10cm fused glass coaster.  Please note that the glass work you produce in this workshop will need to be fused in Julia's kiln and so you will not be able to 'take your make' home with you at the end of the session.

Do I have to book?   No - just turn up.  If the table is busy when you arrive just wait until a place becomes free.  

How much does it cost?  £5 for each small hanging decoration and £10 for each coster. If you can not collect your fused works from Marlow there will be an additional charge to cover P&P.

How long will it take?  This depends on the level of decoration you want to add, but we recommend you give yourself 20 to 30 minutes for each piece - which gives you time to try one of the other three workshops that we are running . . .

How long will it take to get my glass decoration / coaster fused?  It will take 10 - 14 days to get completed work fused and posted out to you / ready to collect in Marlow.
