Come along and learn a unique, sustainable practice in our Twine and Bead-Making Workshop with artist Laura McGlinchey!

Join us for a hands-on, informal workshop exploring creative ways to repurpose plastic and paper waste into beautiful, functional materials. Using waste provided by Narture, we’ll focus on twine and bead making, with plenty of pre-made examples on hand for inspiration.

You’ll learn a few simple techniques to transform discarded materials into usable yarns and components – perfect for knitting, crochet, weaving, and more. Whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned maker, this workshop is a space for experimentation, conversation, and sharing ideas.

Come to one session or both (first session Saturday 27th from 12pm-2pm) – each is a relaxed taster where you’ll pick up new skills, new perspectives, and maybe a few crafty surprises.

We’d love to have some experienced knitters or crocheters join the conversation too – Laura’s expert-knitter aunt will be there to lend a hand!

Let’s talk about waste, reuse, and making things that matter.

This venue is fully wheelchair accessible.
