MERRY & BRIGHT INKTENSE EMBROIDERY WORKSHOP

29th November 10am - 1pm £25​

Suitable for Adults and Young People aged 14+ accompanied by an adult

Location: Boom Studios, 80 Main Street, Bangor - 1st floor​

Come and spend a cozy morning with Heather Cassidy, Textile Artist, creating a gorgeous Christmas hoop to decorate your home! This workshop is completely beginner friendly and Heather will guide you as you learn or rekindle such a relaxing and mindful skill. We'll begin by colouring a pre-drawn hat and mittens with magical inktense pencils and we'll follow by adding texture and colour with simple embroidery stitches. As if that wasn't enough, we'll be indulging in home baked cakes, tea, coffee & hot chocolate. Come along....and bring a friend!

(Remainder of 2025) Art & Craft from the Celtic Wheel of the Year

1st Wednesday evenings of the month 7pm - 9pm £15

Suitable for adults and young people age 12+ attending with an adult.

Join Heather for a series of nature based, mindful and fascinating workshops based around the Ancient Celtic Wheel of the Year. We will be exploring the traditional crafts of the time and applying our own personal ideas to create finished pieces that we can use to decorate our homes or gift to loved ones.

These workshops will be informal and friendly and you won't need any artistic talent or skill (although Heather believe’s we all possess these!). As well as learning about our fascinating heritage, we will explore both modern and traditional methods such as printmaking, weaving, embroidery and botanical art.

In 2026 the celtic wheel class becomes the Circle of seasons craft collective:
