Banner Making Workshop

June 14th / 15th, Florence Arts Centre, 12:00 - 15:00 each day

Join Arwen from Cold Keld to add the finishing touches to the Cumberlandia Banner! New for this year's festival will be a hand-made eco-banner of our striking tree logo, made entirely from reclaimed fabrics and unspun fleece, all plant-dyed and printed by hand.

The workshop has two levels of participation:

simply drop-in during the workshop to make some hammer-printed leaves for the tree. You don't need any previous experience for this, and it is suitable for families;
there are also 6 places each day for those with existing textiles skills (for example in needle felting / hand stitching / embroidery etc.) to add details to the tree and background;

Materials for hammer-printing and basic sewing are provided, but if you have previous experience working with textiles, please bring any specialist tools (i.e. felting needles) you might want to use.
