So not only am I embarrassed that this is my second blog ( I should be on my 5th or 6th by now) I’m actually writing some of this during the festive period when I should really be spending time with my family. It seems to be the best time to catch up on tasks that you have ignored/not made time for. This long overdue post is about Crafty Sip, my monthly creative session started in September last year.
So what is Crafty Sip? Crafty Sip is a collaboration with Deborette – Creative and 1000 Trades, Drawing inspiration from the DIY Bar in Portland, Oregon, USA – Crafty Sip sessions are a fun way to spend a few hours ‘crafting’ with your friends on a sociable level. You have the opportunity to produce up to two mini creative projects, with two drinks over a maximum of three hours all included in the price. The idea came from a tweet that came my way, it was a call out for a sociable crafting session in a bar environment.
The aim of Crafty Sip is to enjoy being creative and projects have varied each month. You work at your own pace with the original intention of following a step-by-step method sheet for making your projects( i haven’t quite done this yet). Projects created to date include a leather bi-fold wallet, leather credit card slip, leather cuff, hand stamped silver pendant and leather keyring. Future projects will include further leather accessories, the sessions are a great introduction to leather crafting.
Fancy giving it a go? Well the next Crafty Sip session is on Sunday 21st January 2018 2.30pm – 5.30pm – you can take a look here
