πŸ‘• Fabric Collage – reworking tees into statement shirts
🧸 Toy Crafting – creating cute outfits, themed toys or possibly some monster mashing

This workshop is led by the talented Ellen Jones-Poole, a mixed-media artist and proud op-shop queen, fresh from her 2024 Summer Studio Residency. Ellen brings her flair from the film industry and her passion for thrifty, sustainable creativity.
