MACRAME PLANT HANGER WORKSHOP
MACRAME PLANT HANGER WORKSHOP
Thursday 2nd November | 7pm - 9pm | £45
We are hosting a workshop with Katie Mitchell, founder of By-Me, where you will learn to wrap and knot your way to a fully finished Spiral Macrame Plant Hanger.
When I set up Simple Shape I committed to working with good people, making good things. I wrote it in my business plan and I have been lucky enough to make this happen (almost without exception!). It is brilliant to be able to use the Simple Shape shop space to share these good people and their skills with you.
So, meet Katie. She has a background in textile design and visual merchandising and now spends her time running her business: By-Me. She creates macrame plant hangers, wall hangings and accessories using only recycled cotton cord. And, she is local to us in South East London too, which is a bonus!
THE WORKSHOP
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN: Katie will guide you through each step, from start to finish, including learning the wrapped, spiral, square knot and lots of useful tips and techniques. You will leave with a finished plant hanger that you can use immediately or gift, plus the knowledge to make your own.
WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING: absolutely nothing! You will be given a macrame kit made from 100% recycled cotton. There will be different colour options to choose from.
SKILLS: you don’t need to have any previous experience at all.
NOTES: This will be a fun, friendly and productive couple of hours. You will be greeted with a glass of fizz and leave with a finished product. It is a ticketed event.

For bug-free nights alfresco this Citronella Candle Tin is just the thing. As the evenings get longer the lemon-scent will see off unwanted flying guests and with a 45 hour (approx) burn time it should last you for many many BBQs or dusk ‘til dawn evenings. It also has a lid…which is very handy to stop any unwelcome rain making the wick soggy. Hand poured using traditional methods in North Cornwall.
Size: candle height, approx 7.5cm
Notes: Citronella is a lemon-scent. The burn time, approx 45 hours.
Homewares for birds? Yes! When we saw these it made sense to add these stylish accessories for gardens to the collection. These Birdhouses have been meticulously researched and designed by wildlife lovers in Cornwall and slipcast in the UK. They're designed to be sympathetic to the natural shape of a birds nest with a hole that is just the right size for a homemaking Blue Tit, Coal Tit or Long-tailed Tit, whilst preventing predators from getting in. And they attach easily with a simple hanging stainless steel cable to any branch.
Colour: Terracotta
Size: diameter 180mm. Entrance hole 25-28mm
Notes: each Birdball comes boxed with assembly and maintenance details enclosed
