Today I met Aviva and we traveled to her Happisburgh studio to prepare for the Makers Month Event in Feb! We sat and planned last min things such as the children's activities on the Tuesday and Thursday and chatted about my denim patch works. I up cycled 2 tables, a chair and a 2 metre stand/rail (which we are using to hand the giant patchwork at the end). I sanded and painted them using chalk paint, this gave so many ideas of my own, for the future. We plan to have all of this lovely up cycled furniture in the forum atrium for people to get in the spirit of slow, mindful, conscious making. In the blue table we plan to make markings on the edges of the table to replicate stitches and sashioko like in my denim patchwork- I think this would look really quirky add an extra handcrafted touch to it.  In the evening time I deconstructed a second hand lampshade which was part of a large floor lamp. I was left with the wire frame where I weaved, tied and loopeed the shredded fabric which I made in to yarn beforehand, in an out of the wire. I only used old pieces of fabrics, continuing the up cycling, reclaiming, reusing theme. The end result was brilliant and i think the collection of furniture will tie the whole workshop together. The next time I will see Aviva is the day of the forum event but we plan to have phone calls between then, confirming any last minute details that might crop up.  Aviva shared so much wisdom with me and I feel like I have learnt an incredible amount with Aviva, I feel privileged to have had my placement with her.
