It was such a privilege and joy to run this workshop with my dear friend, Samira, spending time with this incredible group of individuals. I was truly inspired and smiled all the way back to Liverpool.
We had such fun yesterday making clay brooches, key rings and earrings. While the clay baked, we even got to hear something of our personal journeys. That’s community! ❤️ #crafting #community #MakeLondon @LDN_Culture

We really enjoyed our second fabric painting session last week … we were delighted to finish our flowers which we rounded off with just a little touch of sparkle ✨ #MakeLondon @MayorOfLondon @LDN_Culture

We so enjoyed our first Craft Workshop on Friday morning. Lots of beautiful fabric painting; colours, blending, coffee and chat. Looking forward to seeing all our wonderful attendees again on Friday and continuing our creative journey together!

We had a lot of fun today testing out our moulding skills, making fimo brooches, cards, pendants, earrings and a very cute mini piglet

Thinking back to our card making workshop last week. What a creative bunch we are!
This is beautiful. I am a huge fan of all things @Craftivists Yesterday I completed the online course which has gently challenged me to develop the activist side of my love for crafts and taking a slow approach in a fast world. Important for all of us @ThreadsUK_ too

Stitching the words always feels so meaningful... letting the words rest and take root. Thanks for the inspiration @Craftivists

It’s good to appreciate the talents of others. Only one of us at Threads can do patchwork. The rest of us are in awe 😍

At Threads, we like to share existing skills and learn new ones. On a dark winter’s day, it’s encouraging to be reminded that we learnt to take photos of beautiful summer flowers
I’m a huge fan of Maya Angelou. Her writing is so powerful. I’m also a huge fan of @Craftivists so their inspiration enabled me to make this card.
Diversity is one of Threads’ many strengths. Cathy sometimes stitches meaningful quotes to make cards or pictures. Inspired by @craftivists #crafterthoughts

Throwback Thursday! Some Christmas cards we made a few years ago. We’re not doing markets this year but we’re still making cards 😊

Homegrown indigo plants grown by one member of our team. Impressive... at least we think so. Indigo features a lot at Threads so more products will be shown in coming days
