Local seamstress and textile artist Claire Humphries is teaching this fundraiser to make beautiful handsewn bookmarks. Knowing Masham, Claire understands the importance of the Community Office to Masham and the surrounding villages. Along with all staff and tutors, Claire is giving her time for free, to deliver this unique and fun 3 hour session to help us raise the funds to buy the MCO building and save its vital services for Masham.
During this relaxing morning with Claire, you’ll have fun creating beautiful bookmarks in some surprising ways. Minimal sewing skills required – all you need is a pack of needles and a sharp pair of scissors! You’ll be delighted by the creative designs that can be achieved using a variety of fabrics, bonding, colour and stitching. You will be snipping your own designs from a top layer, which will act as a framework for fabric. We anticipate you’ll go home with a pair of highly personalised and beautiful bookmarks to mark your place or give as gorgeous gifts.
After 3 hours in Claire’s sweatshop, you’ll have worked up an appetite, so a two course homemade ArtisOn lunch is all included at around 12:30pm. Lunch will finish by 1:30pm.
