A weekend away with friends to learn, play and experiment with making.
That's on offer at the inaugural Craft Camp, a weekend-long retreat near Wellington organised by Tash and her team at Holland Road Yarn Company , July 12-14.
While Tash says this event is aimed at knitters and makers, there are no knitting classes. Each session is designed to complement your existing skills, either to help you celebrate what you already know or add a new talent to your tool belt.
The classes on offer feature weaving, photography, mindfulness and more. I'm thrilled to be attending and teaching wool embroidery.
In my class, we'll use fine wool yarn to embroider onto linen. Suitable for both beginners and more experienced stitchers, embroidering with yarn is fun and much faster than thread. It's also a great way to use up leftovers from your knitting stash. I'll be sure to bring lots of materials, samples and templates for us to use.
Tickets to Craft Camp go on sale on Monday March 11. I'd love to see you there if you can make it!
