# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Bees and Blooms: A FREE Mixed Media Recycled Textile Workshop- Bonnybridge
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 22 Apr, 2026 at 10:30 am – Wed, 22 Apr, 2026 at 12:30 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: Come along and enjoy this tactile, hands-on workshop using recycled textile fragments to highlight the importance of bees in our natural eco system.


You will be shown how to stretch a piece of textile onto an embroidery hoop as your canvas base. From there, you will begin assembling and layering beautiful hand cut fabric flowers and bees to create a botanical scene. To finish, you'll add shimmering sequins, 3D flowers and button embellishments to create a vibrant nature scene, with your bees taking centre stage.


This hoop art and fabric collage workshop is the perfect way to relax for a few hours through the meditative process of selecting, cutting and arranging textiles to build a multi-dimensional stunning piece of wall art using haberdashery finds.


What you’ll learn:
Composition:
• Explore the process of extracting motifs from patterned fabric.
• Learn how to balance floral patterns and focal points (the adorable bee).


Layering:
•You'll be shown techniques for securing fabric and 3D elements for a professional finish.

Detailing:
•Play with textures using 3D flowers, sequins, buttons and embellishments, adding "spark" with mixed-media accents.
• Leave with a tactile, finished, ready-to-hang piece of original art, made completely from recycled materials.


We have received funding from the Co-Op to hold two creative workshops, this is the first. The second will be in May.


This session will be held on Wednesday 22nd April 10.30am-12.30pm. The session is free, as it's funded - but please do come along if you book a space, and spaces are limited. Hot drinks and biscuits are provided.


The sessions will be held by Caroline Muirhead, a local artist.
