SUMMARY:Intro to Beekeeping: Honey Harvesting
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will take you step by step through the honey extraction process on our working hives in the Make Hamilton community garden. \n\n\nAbout this event \n\n\n\nThe bees at Make Hamilton have been working hard over the summer months\, gathering nectar and pollen and building up stores of honey in their hives. The honey will be harvested at the end of summer\, and this workshop gives you the opportunity to experience the harvesting first-hand. \n \nThe workshop is split into two parts. First\, we will introduce you to how a hive works\, and how the bees store their honey. We will talk through the cycle of honey production\, and the life of a colony through a typical year. We’ll pull on beekeeping veils and head outside where you’ll have the chance to look inside a hive to see the bees working on their honeycomb. \nIn the second part of the workshop we will return indoors to experience the process of extracting honey by spinning honeycomb frames. You will handle honeycombs\, and experience the smells and stickiness that go with that! You’ll get to use the extractor\, and watch the honey being spun out of the frames then collected for bottling. \n \n \nThe session is very interactive\, and will respond to the questions and interests of participants. The session is led by John\, who has kept bees for many years\, and is the resident beekeeper at Make. \nAll equipment/ protective bee suits will be provided\, but please come wearing long sleeved tops\, full length trousers and closed shoes (i.e. no sandals). \n \n \nFAQs: \nDo I need any experience prior to the class? \nNo prior experience is necessary\, all health and safety will be taught by our experienced technician. \nAre there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event? \nAny child under 18 must be accompanied by an adult\, this particular class is not suitable for individuals under 16. We run a no under 15 policy. \nWhat are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event? \nBy Train: \nWe are a stone’s throw away from Hamilton Square train station which is just a short walk down Cleveland street and accessible from all inner city Liverpool Stations and all Wirral line stations. \nBy Bus: \nThere are numerous bus stops nearby and around the Hamilton Square area\, all just short walks away from our space. These include numbers: 41\, 216\, 217\, 409\, 410\, 411\, 413\, 414\, 423\, 811 and several others. \nBy Car: \nFollow the signs for Hamilton Square. We don’t have any designated parking for visitors but there is a range of paid and free parking close by. \nPaid parking: \n– Cleveland Street \n– Prince Street \n– Elgin Way \n– Duncan Street \n– Hinson Street \nMore on wirral.gov.uk/parking-roads-and-travel \nFree and unlimited parking: \n– Russell Street (5 min walk) \n– Brooke Street East (5 min walk) \nParking becomes free and unlimited after 6:30pm. \nDownloading the Just Park app on your mobile device will allow for more efficient and cheaper parking payments. \nHow accessible is the venue? \nThe workshop is located on ground floor which provides full accessibility to the premises including toilet provisions. \nWhere can I contact the organiser with any questions? \nFeel free to get in touch on 0151 601 8665 or email hello@makecic.org \nIs my registration/ticket transferrable? \nIf you find that you cannot attend then you are welcome to pass your place on to a friend who may find it useful.

Is that okay? \nPlease bring along a print out of your ticket if the registration does not match the attendee\, or contact hello@makecic.org to have them change the ticket so it contains your name. \nWhat can I bring into the event? \nThere will be a short break during the session with the opportunity for snacks and coffee!

SUMMARY:Beginners Sewing - Make Your Own Kimono Style Robe
DESCRIPTION:This beginners course will take you step by step through the basics of sewing. You will be taught over 3 workshops (Thurs evenings). \n\n\nAbout this event \n\n\n\nWould you like to learn a new skill for the new year? Dream of being able to make your own clothes? Or do you have an old sewing machine lying around that you want to use? \n  \nMake your own Kimono Style Robe \nThis is an introduction to sewing course which takes place over three weeks (on Thursday evenings). \nSmall class size (3 people) to make sure everyone gets plenty of support. \nYou can bring your own machine or use one of ours. \nTake the free pattern home after the course. \n  \nSkills you will gain: \n– Fabric knowledge \n– Sewing machine operation and threading \n– Cutting fabric from a pattern \n– Overlocker operation \n– Making French seams \n– Making roulard loops and tie belt \n– Facing and interfacing \n– Marking out even hems \n– Make and sew even patch pockets \n \nCourse Content: \nIn week 1 you will be given a pattern to start cutting out your kimono using either your own material or fabric provided by the tutor. If bringing your own you will need 2.5 meters of woven cotton or linen fabric that is 140cm wide. \nYou will make copy of your pattern that you can keep. \nThe tutor\, Anita will help you to set up your machine showing you all the parts of the sewing machine and giving a full explanation of how to thread it and load the bobbin. \nYou will learn about stitch length/width\, thread tension and look at any issues you have with your machine (if you have brought your own). If Anita can’t fix it \, she will point you in the direction of someone who can. You will receive continued support in threading and troubleshooting your machine throughout the course as it can be difficult at first. \nYou will practice stitches on the machine and learn how to reverse stitch and turn corners. You will try out stitching of different lengths and the zig zag stitches. \nNext\, with ample support and supervision\, you will start pinning and sewing your kimono pieces together. \nYou will be given instruction on how to use the overlocker and be given the opportunity to practice before using it to give your seams a professional neat finish. \nOver the following 2 weeks you will sew your kimono up to the finished garment which will give you plenty of practice in using your sewing machine and gaining confidence. \nThe class is small with a maximum of 3 people so you will receive lots of help. \nAnd last but not least – you will try on your gorgeous new Kimono Robe and give yourself a massive pat on the back!!! \n \nFAQs \nAre there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event? \nAny child under 16 must be accompanied by an adult and we operate a no under 10 policy. \nWhat are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event? \nBy Train: \nWe are a stone’s throw away from Hamilton Square train station which is just a short walk down Cleveland street and accessible from all inner city Liverpool Stations and all Wirral line stations. \nBy Bus: \nThere are numerous bus stops nearby and around the Hamilton Square area\, all just short walks away from our space.
