Yarn Bowl Painting Workshop

Come and join us at Birkhill House for a fun session of companionship and crafting and go away with your own hand painted yarn bow. Perfect for keeping your working yarn under control, these bowls also make lovely bespoke gifts for your favourite knitter or crocheter and the sessions are great fun for a group of crafty friends.

Bowls are made of bisque fired ceramic and we will be painting them with acrylic paints and pens. Bowls can be left to dry, varnished by us for increased durability and picked. up later in the week or taken home on the day and sealed at home using a clear coat such as Mod Podge or Rustoelum.

Materials included.

• Price: £30 per participant for 4-8 participants.

• Who it’s for: Ages 14+

• Length: 2.5 hours

Sunshine Stewart - My Mama Knits

Hi – I’m Sunshine, the indie yarn dyer behind My Mama Knits. I was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where I grew up surrounded by crafty types both in family and friends, and later studied Art and Art History at the University of NM. I made Scotland my home in 2004 and as an avid multi-crafter continue to be inspired by the nature, history and cultures of both places. Along with being the occasional workshop lead, you will most likely find me at Birkhill over excited while extracting and recording colour in the Dye Garden, quietly loving on one of the animals, or openly encouraging others to experiment with all manner of crafts.
