🍄✨ Upcycled Mushy Plushies Workshop with Cattalina Townsley! ✨🍄

Join us for a heartwarming and eco-friendly adventure as Cattalina guides you through an enchanting Upcycled Mushy Plushies Workshop. Discover the joy of transforming your old, worn-out clothes and tattered soft toys into adorable mushroom companions!

What to Expect:

• Creative Transformation: Learn how to repurpose and upcycle old materials that would otherwise end up in landfills. Turn your sentimental or damaged items into a new, huggable mushroom soft toy with the guidance of our talented creatives.
• Sustainable Crafting: Embrace the ethos of sustainability by using only upcycled materials. No need for new supplies – scour second-hand stores or bring items from your own home to breathe new life into forgotten treasures.
• Express Yourself: Customize your Mushy Plushie with a variety of textures, colours, and patterns. Let your creativity flourish as you craft a one-of-a-kind mushroom friend that tells a unique story.

Please note:

All children under 13 years of age must be accompanied by an adult - we are all about learning together! You can book one spot and collaborate on one piece or book 2 spots and help each other out with your own individual creations.

This is not a learn to sew class so basic knowledge of how to use a sewing machine is required.

Embrace the magic of upcycling and join us for a workshop filled with laughter, creativity, and the joy of giving new life to old favorites.
