Come along and create a unique, sustainable piece of hanging wall decor using recycled leather in this practical, eco craft workshop.
No experience needed as you'll be shown how to cut and assemble your bird and heart design as well as how to finish it off using rustic leather cord for hanging.
Participants will transform high-quality recycled leather scraps into a beautiful, hand-crafted bird and heart wall decoration to take away with them. It’s mindful making at its best.
Caroline Muirhead from Green at Heart will be the facilitator for this session.
This session is being held on Friday 8th May 10-11.30am, in The Place to Pause & Breathe, Bonnybridge.
