Come and join local Living History enthusiast Heather as she brings to life crafts from the Northwest's Heritage.

Demonstrating the slowly vanishing skills that went into producing our clothing using natural materials.

Inspired by the Heritage Crafts Red List, we’re focusing on endangered crafts.

We'll supply

• All materials and tuition

• Hot/cold drinks and tasty snacks

This month

Always wanted to know how to make your own pigments? Me too!

Today Heather takes a break and enjoys a visit from a lovely local guest artist

Suzanne Pinder, who will introduce you to ancient pigments made from natural

materials.

We’ll look at

• Paints, dyes and inks for immediate use on wood, paper and fabric

• How to store pigments

• How to make a pigment travel set

Pigments are made using recycled items as Suzanne is an expert at repurposing

Please wear something appropriate for this colourful class as you will be getting

‘hands on’ with your pigments.

This session is in our upstairs workshop space. We have a lift! Otherwise it is fourteen steps turn a corner and two more steps. There is an accessible loo on the same floor.
