OLD BAGS. NEW TRICKS
REAL PEOPLE. GLORIOUS MESSES.
I run creative leather upcycling workshops designed to bring people together, build confidence and give old things — and sometimes ourselves — a chance to become something new.
I’m thrilled to announce I’ve been fortunate enough to receive funding from Arts Council England to run "Old Bags New Tricks," a series of free workshops across South Gloucestershire. These workshops are particularly for people who could really use them — those who may have been living with isolation, rebuilding after a difficult or abusive relationship, facing financial hardship, or simply finding themselves at a point in life where confidence, connection and a little space to create could make a difference.
My goal is simple: to create welcoming, relaxed spaces where people can connect, get creative, learn something new and leave with something completely their own. No experience. No perfection. Just possibilities.
These free workshops will be running alongside my usual Ruined Reputation workshops, so watch this space for more dates — or book a private session for you and your friends, either in the Dome or at a venue of your choice.
