Pop along to Lambside Farm this weekend – Home to Peter Lanyon Furniture (what.3.words present.discussed.display – Address Lambside Farm, PL8 1HG, just off the coast road halfway between Battisborough Cross and Noss Mayo) to join us for mince pies beside a roaring fire and a weekend of local crafty loveliness.

There will be several of us makers – myself, Peter Lanyon (furniture, lighting), Toby Hodges (woodwork), Zoe Singleton (stone carving), Kevin Jenkins design (ceramics), Joey Pots (ceramics) and my lovely daughter Alba-Lily with her delightful papier-mache mice!

This year I’ve been busy with my blow torch making silver jewellery again which has been wonderful – rekindling ideas which never got resolved over 30 years ago on my degree course in Preston, Lancashire.

Combine visiting us with a trip to the lovely South Devon coast, you can come for some cake and tea by the fire to warm your toes. We’ll be there from 10 – 4:30 Saturday 14 – Sunday 15 December. Be there or MISS OUT!

Book yourself onto a relaxing, creative evening out with your friends. Come and make your own foam and rubber stamp shapes and get down with making patterns. You’ll soon be stamping your own wrapping paper, book covers, cards and more. 

During this stamp making workshop you will draw some designs on paper, then transform them into versatile little wooden stamps using foam and rubber sheet, glue, scissors, scalpels and simple wooden blocks. You’ll then spend the rest of the session playing with creating your own pattern designs with acrylic paints and paper. They can be as simple or as complex (within reason!) as you like. 

After this session you’ll be able to get creative at home and stamp your own designs on fabric or paper. 

Materials list 

Materials for making the stamps along with paper and pencils will be provided. You may like to bring your own sketchbook if you have one, for doodling down your ideas into.

Anyone who knows me in real life will be able to tell you that I LOVE COLLAGE and I LOVE POP_UPs! This Easter school holiday I get to do both and hopefully inspire others too, as I’m running a workshop to create a wonderful, colourful, magical paper collage pop-up flower jungle.

Using both upcycled and new papers you will make a jungle of your own.

This workshop is suitable for anyone who can use scissors and glue, wants to use their imagination, and wants to have fun making art! Under 7s will need to be accompanied by an adult. Any participating adults will also need to purchase a place.

Spaces are limited, so book yours today, by clicking HERE

Join in the fun on Tuesday 9th April 10 – 12 at Ermington Store Community Space.

I’ve actually been digging out some old collages and pop-ups that I made years ago. One day I’ll get around to putting the collages up for sale on my website!

Just a few of the absolutely amazing creations that were made at Bovey Help Hub art workshop number 1 in the summer holidays. I just rocked up with some laser cut white cardboard body parts, some split pins and a whole heap of pens, pencils, sticky labels, collage papers, glue and more, and the kids got on with turning the blank white bits into wild characters. I absolutely loved doing this. I’m always so impressed with kids creativity and imagination when you give them art materials and the freedom to just do what they want, in a safe space.

Prices starting at £120. Price varies depending on activity/number of children. Just get in touch to discuss further! 🙂
