Hoping to free up some time soon to have a play with a few new crafts - transforming a terracotta pot with mosaic pieces and doing some engraving on glass. I will let you know how I get on although my priority at the moment is putting some kits together for an upcoming workshop for a ladies coach group visiting

Summer has barely just begun but already I am beginning to plan the Winter programme which of course includes the Christmas workshops. Some favourites will be returning but I also like to include a few new offerings and for that to happen, samples need to be made and supplies procured. Let us know if there is anything you would like to see on our winter programme and we will do our best to deliver.

EDIT: Workshops now available for booking and kits also available in my online shop.
I've been busy creating these stunning little landscapes, featuring a vibrant poppy field and a serene bluebell wood, that are sure to spark your creativity! The process involves simple stitching techniques, combined with applique and fibre manipulation to add texture and depth. To give it that extra special touch, I've finished them off with intricate beading and seeding stitches. These pieces are perfect for anyone who wants to unleash their creativity and break free from traditional patterns, although placement templates will be available for those who need a little guidance. The best part? You'll get to enjoy the mindful, creative stitching process and take home your finished piece, complete with a mount, ready to be popped into a frame and admired. And the best news? These classes will be coming soon to our website at www.hillheadcrafts.co.uk, where you can secure your spot in our small classes and get ready to tap into your creative side! 🌼🌿

Card-making workshop for a group of 28 ladies on tour. After enjoying afternoon tea at The Secret Garden at Dundonald Nurseries it was down to business, making 2 cards within one hour. For some, it was their first time making cards and then there were the A team (you know who you are!) who shone throughout. Busy session but everyone went away with 2 cards completed and a smile of achievement. Enjoy the shopping!

What a fantastic day we had at Aghalee Village Hall yesterday, hosting not one but two back-to-back workshops that were simply buzzing with creativity and enthusiasm. Great atmosphere and plenty of chat and interaction. In the morning session, we delved into the world of bespoke candlemaking where each participant got to design their own unique candles in teacups, choosing from a vast array of colours and scents to create truly one-of-a-kind masterpieces. And then they got to make their own rolled beeswax candles, which added a little bonus to the workshop. The afternoon was a fun-filled session of bath fizzies and reed diffuser making. While the bath fizzies were drying in their moulds, we took a creative detour to learn the art of origami box-making, which proved to be a delightful surprise for many. The end result was a stunning collection of handmade goodies, each reed diffuser infused with its own special touch and aroma. Everyone left with a smile on their face, clutching their beautifully crafted creations. And we can't wait to do it all again soon! 🎨💫🕯️

At Hillhead Crafts, sustainability is at the core of our operations. As community groups face funding constraints, we recognise the importance of eco-friendly practices in delivering diverse programmes. Our repertoire includes eco-conscious crafts during Christmas and appliqué/embroidery sessions. Today, we're excited to introduce a workshop that upcycles glass jars, specifically pesto and chutney containers, into charming posy jars adorned with paint, ribbon, and vinyl floral motifs or dried florals. The addition of a clay 'frog' for effortless floral arrangement makes this workshop a fun, stress-free experience for participants. If you're seeking a budget-friendly group activity, consider partnering with us. We're happy to travel to your venue if you have 15 or more participants or we can accommodate smaller groups at our studio.
