Papercutting workshop with Lou Taylor

21 Jun

Last Sunday we opened our doors to the papercut extraordinaire that is Lou Taylor. Well known in the paper cutting sphere we were delighted when she decided to run a workshop with us here at Super+Super.

So over plenty a cup of tea and some homemade flapjack (thanks lou) we set to work learning this exciting craft. I actually attended the class too and I must say that handing me a sharp blade to work with was pretty daunting at first but with Lou’s expert tuition, some top tips and a stocked up first aid kit (which didn’t need to be used I might add..!) we all quickly picked it up and set out to recreate some of Lou’s awesome papercut designs…

This is an ideal class for anyone who wants to learn a new craft or wants to try something different. After the 2.5 hour class I left feeling very chuffed with my new found skills and am already planning peoples birthday cards and presents around said skills. Score! (literally!)

To find out more about Lou have a peek at her website here and sign up to our mailing list here to keep up to date with when the next workshop will be.

Craftaganza Day 2 *free* Embroidery Event at Fabrica

4 Jun

If you are pottering in Brighton town tomorrow (Tuesday 5th) do pop in to Fabrica between 10am and 1.30pm and get your stitch on. Us Super+Super gals are hosting a morning of free Hand Embroidery tutorials. Hand Embroidered hanky’s to be precise!

Due to the unstructured nature of the event, attendees will be encouraged to jump in and start learning on arrival and just have a go! There will be numerous examples, books and hand outs to inspire and instruct. We will encourage learners to generate their own designs and colour combinations, to work with mixing different types of yarns to push any pre-conceived ideas about hand embroidery.

All you need to bring is yourself, S+S will be providing the embroidery threads and yarns, embroidery needles, printed hand-outs of stitch techniques, cotton handkerchiefs and plenty of books, magazines and images to inspire!!!

See you there…. craftaganza rules!
