Collaborative Art Session
Bring a group along to beautiful Birkhill to design and create a collaborative piece of art to put on your festive cards. Enjoy some early festive refreshments and banter, build your team’s resilience and take a moment out to be collectively creative. Magdalena will be on hand to guide you through the design process, suggest appropriate techniques and advise on materials and execution. Aimed at small businesses in the Lothians & Borders, these evening sessions are ideal for teams of 10 or fewer. How it works:
Arrive and tuck into some seasonal delights
Discuss potential design ideas and look through materials
Divide up tasks and begin to construct a design
Work happily and craftily until the card design is complete
Pop finished design into our photographic light box and be blown away by the result
Let Birkhill usher your card through the printing process
Receive your box of cards with plenty of time to send out to stakeholders, service users and valued customers
Please note: there will be an additional charge for printing that can be discussed at the time of booking.
Price: £300 per group, 4-12 people
Who it’s for: Ages 12+
Length: 4 hours
Magdalena Sobula
Since I remember, there was always yarn in our house. I grew up watching my mum and auntie knitting and crocheting and very early I became an enthusiastic crafter myself.
After moving to Scotland with my family I ran a small business, Stitching a Rainbow, selling custom made patchwork blankets and small crochet makes. I stopped in 2016, when I decided to turn my love of yarn and fabrics into a career.
I enrolled for BA in Design for Textiles Associate Programme with Glasgow Clyde College and Heriot-Watt University and followed with Master’s Degree, graduating in 2021.
I am a weave designer, self proclaimed alpaca fibre ambassador, knitter, crocheter, spinner and it brings me a great joy to share my passions with others.
In addition to leading workshops At Birkhill House CIC, I also run my own small business, Soft Stories Design.
