FULLY BOOKED Make a Fabric Bee @ The Old Reading Room, Goathland

About the Activity

Gather with Anna Tennant for a relaxing day using fabric, felt & beads to create your own little garden bee.

This workshop is about slow conversations & good company; tea, biscuits & the joy of making with your hands. There is no chasing perfection here & no pressure to produce something polished. We will be using our hands & making for the joy of making. Wonky bees are very welcome.

The workshop runs 10:30–14:30 with a half-hour break for lunch. There are lovely tearooms & a local shop close by, or bring a packed lunch. Tea, coffee & biscuits are provided throughout the day. Please advise of any allergies or dietary requirements when booking.

A basic level of sewing is recommended; if you can thread a needle & stitch, that is all you need. No fancy stitches or speed required.

Part of Whitby Gathers, a free summer arts programme across Whitby & surrounding villages, supported by Arts Council England. Spaces are limited.

This workshop is open to participants aged 16 & over.

What to Bring

A packed lunch if you'd like one; there are also tearooms & a local shop nearby. All materials are provided.
