It was such a privilege and joy to run this workshop with my dear friend, Samira, spending time with this incredible group of individuals. I was truly inspired and smiled all the way back to Liverpool.
We had such fun yesterday making clay brooches, key rings and earrings. While the clay baked, we even got to hear something of our personal journeys. That’s community! ❤️ #crafting #community #MakeLondon @LDN_Culture

We really enjoyed our second fabric painting session last week … we were delighted to finish our flowers which we rounded off with just a little touch of sparkle ✨ #MakeLondon @MayorOfLondon @LDN_Culture

We so enjoyed our first Craft Workshop on Friday morning. Lots of beautiful fabric painting; colours, blending, coffee and chat. Looking forward to seeing all our wonderful attendees again on Friday and continuing our creative journey together!

This is beautiful. I am a huge fan of all things @Craftivists Yesterday I completed the online course which has gently challenged me to develop the activist side of my love for crafts and taking a slow approach in a fast world. Important for all of us @ThreadsUK_ too

Stitching the words always feels so meaningful... letting the words rest and take root. Thanks for the inspiration @Craftivists

It’s good to appreciate the talents of others. Only one of us at Threads can do patchwork. The rest of us are in awe 😍

At Threads, we like to share existing skills and learn new ones. On a dark winter’s day, it’s encouraging to be reminded that we learnt to take photos of beautiful summer flowers

Hand knitted slippers for a cold winter’s day. Cathy often makes then with remnant wool ... knitting with 2 yarns together. We’re taking commissions, so if you fancy a pair for yourself or to give as a gift, DM us 😊

I’m a huge fan of Maya Angelou. Her writing is so powerful. I’m also a huge fan of @Craftivists so their inspiration enabled me to make this card.
Diversity is one of Threads’ many strengths. Cathy sometimes stitches meaningful quotes to make cards or pictures. Inspired by @craftivists #crafterthoughts

Homegrown indigo plants grown by one member of our team. Impressive... at least we think so. Indigo features a lot at Threads so more products will be shown in coming days

It’s over a year ago since we had a workshop making garlands. This year we can’t get together in person so we’ll be sharing photos of products we’ve made over the year. One photo a day until 24 December... watch this space 👀
