NEW - Bookbinding, Wet felting and Leather clutch bag
It’s been a great week meeting new tutors and discovering new crafts. We have a few more to check out today, and hopefully, there will be even more to launch next week. Never let it be said that we don’t try to find exciting new things for you!
However, I have some somewhat sad and confusing news to share. When I got home today after the school run and picking up some groceries for this weekend’s baking, Phil explained that he had gotten into a bit of a tangle with Kanga, our 9-month-old GSP puppy. Unfortunately, during this incident, the head of my duck got knocked off.
I was initially taken aback, thinking, "Wait, my duck’s head fell off?!" Phil then reassured me, saying, “Don’t worry—I can glue it back on.” Realising that my shocked expression wasn't quite what he expected, he finally clarified, “You know, the concrete duck on the step.” I felt he could have led with that detail!
So, it is with great sadness that I now have a headless duck—a lovely gift from Tracy, our leather tutor, who planned to throw it away until I offered to give it a home.
We have had a busy old week loading up stuff and doing lots of incredibly exciting admin! but luckily it is the weekend again and we can enjoy being back in the studio for silversmithing, silver clay, leather work and candle making.
For those of you who are planning a little special birthday gathering this year, be sure to book in early as weekends throughout the year are filling up fast.
