It’s been a busy couple of months of workshops and I had some lovely feedback: ‘The crochet day with Katy was excellent, perfect group size and plenty of opportunities to get individual help. I was delighted with what I achieved in one day and came away with the practical skills to continue my own crochet work.’ and ‘Katy was a really kind, funny and skilful tutor.’
Awhh, thanks guys. More crochet workshops in the autumn as I juggle everything. The next Meet Make Mend darning session with Kat Child at the Trinity Rooms will be Monday 11 March. Might see you there.
Intelligent Hands: Why making is a skill for life has been shortlisted for an award for indie publishers by Book Brunch. The announcement will be at the London Book Fair on 12 March and I’ve already booked my train ticket. It’s a long shot or course, but it’s great to be recognised 😊 Meanwhile, Intelligent Hands will be available in the USA from IPG books from today, 27 February.
The next excitement at Quickthorn is Rag Manifesto: Making, Folklore and Community by Rachael Matthews. We await delivery of the actual books while we recover from the work of getting it to print. The publication date is 1 March and it’s available to preorder now.
