Festive Metal Wreath
2023-11-25 11:00 - 16:00 | Make Hamilton, 69-71 Argyle Street, Birkenhead, CH41 6LQ, United Kingdom
This handmade copper OR gold wreath will certainly be a show stopper, not only this winter but for many to come, as unlike natural wreaths it won’t decay!
Learn metal embossing skills to create your own 3D designs and use wire to embellish the wreath further. We will then burn the metal foils with a small blow torch to reveal the beautiful colours conducted by the metal if using copper.

You will be shown a range of techniques and get to experiment a little before committing to your design. You will learn, embossing, heat colouring, wire sculpting, metal sculpting and composition.
This is usually a very expensive art form to learn, so make the most of this bargain while you can!
It is the perfect workshop to get you in the festive season.

Control your Emotions, Control your Life
2024-01-17 17:30 - 19:00 | Make Hamilton, 69-71 Argyle Street, Birkenhead, CH41 6LQ, United Kingdom
Many of us believe we are at the mercy of our emotions, that they are automatic and that we have no control over them. We might often feel angry, or depressed or stuck in procrastination and feel powerless to change.
However, the great news is that we have more control over our emotions than we think.
In this first of a two-part series of workshops, we will explore:
– What an emotion is – and what it isn’t
– Why being in control of our emotions is important for good health and every aspect
of your life, including running a successful business
– The four elements that make up an emotional state
– Scientifically proven ways to change your emotional state quickly, positively and sustainably
This is a fun, interactive workshop held in a safe, confidential space. With thanks to Robbins Madanes training.

Botanical Clay Casting
2024-01-26 11:00 - 16:00 | Make North Docks, 37 Regent Street, Liverpool, L3 7BN
This workshop is suitable for all abilities and will enable you to create a beautiful keepsake with ease.
The botanical art tiles are made by pressing plants, flowers & objects into clay. They are then removed & plaster is poured over to create the cast. The process picks up an incredible amount of detail to create a beautiful raised impression.

In this workshop we will create two works of art – both the clay imprint and the plaster cast, in a shape and size of your choice. A lovely memory of summer flowers, or perhaps more sentimental flowers – a dried wedding bouquet or a relatives favourite flower could be pressed to create a treasured keepsake. The Botanical Impressions and casts make ideal gifts for garden and nature lovers too.
The artist will demonstrate how to roll out your clay, imprint your foliage and create a frame to pour in the plaster of Paris. This will then set over lunch.
After lunch we will delicately paint the plaster cast using acrylic paints and a drybrushing and rubbing technique shown. We can then add a D ring hook to the back of each art piece so they can be hung on the wall or they can be placed on a stand to display.

This workshop will be lead by Helen Jones theartdoctoruk

Sauerkraut for Beginners
2024-01-31 18:00 - 19:30 | Make Hamilton, 69-71 Argyle Street, Birkenhead, CH41 6LQ, United Kingdom
Fermentation has been around for centuries, and it has certainly been making a comeback these past few years. However, it can sometimes seem a bit daunting and there is a common misconception that making ferments from scratch should be limited to seasoned fermenters and experienced chefs.

This workshop aims to make fermentation accessible to all, so that you can confidently start your own projects at home. We’ll cover the basics of lacto-fermentation, learn about health & safety measures, and end with a little tasting session exploring various ferments made with local or foraged produce.

You will make and take home your own unique jar of sauerkraut, and get to experiment with different flavours using herbs and seeds (foraged or grown on-site). You will also receive an information booklet with all the information you need to start your own lacto-ferments at home.

Fermentation is a healthy and creative way to add more veg into your diet. It is also a fantastic way to capture seasonal flavours. So join us on Wednesday, 20th of September for a relaxed and fun fermentation session.

About the Teacher
Diane is a classically-trained pastry chef, now making sourdough bread at Fika+ (Chester), and working on the field at Cheshire Market Gardens. Passionate about sustainability, she makes a point of using locally-grown produce as much as possible, often turning to foraging & fermenting to minimise waste and use ingredients to their full potential.
