Thank you so much to our #MDDGlasto attendees for joining us this morning! It’s not quite our usual workshop set up but we had an absolute blast all the same! 🖤

Sincerely hope your flower crowns are bringing some sunshine to an otherwise decidedly un-summery day! ⛅️

Amazing how much of the mud, rain, sweat and sunburn you refuse to remember when you look back at festivals past 😂

Have you got everything you need for our flower crown workshop this weekend? We've purposely designed this workshop to only use things you have in the house, no specialist materials and no last minute orders required – a bunch of regular supermarket blooms will do the trick or if you're lucky enough to have a garden full of your own flowers, blossom and foliage take your snips out and get collecting!
.
We've shared more details on our stories and of course make sure you sign up to reserve your spot! ⛺️

Have you signed up to get the link to our virtual workshop this weekend? We're making fresh flower crowns, doing our best not to cry over a season of cancelled events and drinking a much higher standard of beverage than we usually would at festival time (warm cider anyone? 😂) Grab your fleurs and we’ll see you Sunday morning!

It's been wayyyy too long since we hosted anything so we've decided to join the virtual glastonbury celebrations this weekend with a FREE workshop of our very own making that most essential of festival accessories – no, not the bag of wine secreted about your person – the flower crown!
.
Sign up to our mailing list if you haven't already to get all the details, and we'll see as many of you as we can this weekend! We'll only be using materials you likely already have around the house (plus a bunch of supermarket blooms) – so no non-essential trips required here! 🌼

Half the fun of tie-dye is in the unpredictability, but if you want something general to aim at we'll be sharing a few techniques tomorrow morning!

It's about time we got back to making and doing around here, and we’re starting with tie dye ✌️
.
We’ll be sharing our attempt at the official uniform of lockdown this weekend on stories, if you want to play along here's what you'll need to get hold of;
.
〰️ clothes or fabric to dye, the higher the cotton/natural fibre content the better
〰️ fabric dye (you can get tie-dye kits, or I'm just using a dylon hand-dye because #beige)
〰️ elastic bands or string
〰️ squeezy bottle (a cleaned out condiment/washing up liquid bottle works!)
〰️ plastic bag
〰️ sink or a big ol' plastic tub
〰️ salt (to set your dye if you're using dylon, other dyes may differ)
〰️ gloves

@rhian0102 made our day when she shared these photos of her teenagers dabbling in a little macrame at the start of lockdown! It makes our little hearts sing to see those crafty skills being passed on and put into practise outside of our workshops 🖤

Some of our favourite small local businesses are finding ways to adapt to this weird new world – @risebrunch is one of them and we could not be more grateful for a proper coffee (and if you're finally sick of at-home banana bread we're happy to report the brownies are as good as ever 😏)

Another one of our workshop hosts who's been keeping busy in lockdown! 🕯️

@oldmanandmagpiecandleco have released a gorgeous new scent, Calm (with lemon, lavender & eucalyptus pure essentials oils... 🌿) AND Jemma's adapted to the lack of in person markets with scented wax samples of their entire range so you can sniff to your hearts content before you buy! It's not quite the same we know, but if there was ever a time to treat yourself to a fancy candle... 😉
