Do you like to get creative at home? Whether that’s making cartoons, furniture, pottery, prints, fabrics, or clothes? Then we have the group for you!
Join our new group ‘The Crafty Corner’, a space where you will get to explore, experiment, and express your creative side. In each workshop we explore a story from the museum’s collection and create an artistic response to its themes, craft process or medium.
In this session we will be continuing to create shoes, inspired by the story of Nathan Seaberg, who came to the UK from Riga, Latvia and worked as a shoemaker from his home in Hightown, Manchester in the 1910s.
Don’t worry if this is the first time you are joining us, we are still in the early stages of making and all activities are collaborative so you can join up with some other members of the group to help design a pair of shoes! We will be getting creative with faux leather, as we start to pull together the shoe template and design the shape.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The session is open to anyone aged 18 and more, of any level that is interested in exploring arts and crafts– beginners and seasoned pros!
