Warehouse Workshops; Pilot/2013
The first set of workshops run from Friday the 15th of November – Tuesday the 10th of December 2013, Fridays through Tuesdays for four weeks.
At the end of the workshops an auction will be held at the ‘make to make’ Christmas weekend market bonanza; starting with a knees up launch party on Friday the 13th December! You can make something to take away with you too and we would encourage you to keep making so that we can support you by selling your wares in our shop.
Any items not auctioned on the Friday will be available for sale over the following weekend of the 14th and 15th Dec along with other local makers items. We auction the workshop items to ensure the workshops remain free, and it’s also a great chance to exhibit your art to the public.
Local designers and artist are employed by make to make to deliver high quality workshops. They share their skills and earn an honest living while doing so.
We are happy to support…

Introducing various ideas about painting, different movements in the history of painting and the techniques they have used
Help people to design paintings they are interested in working on
Introduce ideas about the composition of paintings through some basic rules – e.g the ‘golden section’, the eye line; the vanishing point etc

Textiles with Kimberley Errington
The Little Denim Dog started life as a craft business, transforming recycled denim and other fabrics into beautiful bespoke hand made quilts, cushions and other soft furnishings.
Since then Kim has worked with various community groups in Nottingham teaching basic sewing skills to produce collaborative quilts.
Make to make workshop
Using recycled and donated fabrics I hope to teach varying degrees and techniques of fabric manipulations and decoration.
Each participant will create a patch or patches that will eventually create the final design of the collaborative quilt.
As a group we will consider what colours, textures and effects work well together and work loosely to an agreed design brief, set by the participants.
The quilt making is meant to be a social activity that is relaxed and inclusive. Come and meet some new people while creating a beautiful finished item.
Participants can also make a smaller item to take away.
