🌊 Behind the Scenes at Worcester Crafty Club 🌊

Today Mark and I headed to Portishead to restock for our next two — and final for now — Sea Glass Picture Workshops.

To be honest, when we arrived we thought we’d had a wasted journey! High tide hadn’t long gone out and much of the beach was still under water. 🙈

Thankfully, after a little exploring and a walk along the coastal path, we found some dry areas and our treasure hunt could begin.

A couple of hours later we’d collected some lovely sea glass, rescued a few pieces of driftwood and enjoyed a beautiful walk along the shoreline.

After all that hard work (someone has to do it! 🤣), we treated ourselves to lunch and a well-earned pint at The Windmill Inn, with fabulous views across the estuary.

Portishead never disappoints. 💚

And since Mark usually stays behind the scenes, I thought it was only fair to introduce him. He’s one of the men behind Worcester Crafty Club who helps make all of this possible.

Between beach-combing trips, carrying supplies, putting up with craft materials taking over the house and Rob keeping an eye on the books and being a sounding board for new ideas….Angie and I are very lucky to have such supportive husbands. 💚

Every piece of sea glass we use has its own story, and today was part of that story.

Ps I believe one of our fabulous Crafty Clubbers and friend has a special birthday today! Please join me in saying a huge HAPPY BIRTHDAY to (drum roll….) Tracey Lott💕 have a fabulous birthday xx

💚 What a lovely morning!

Yesterday Angie and I had the pleasure of running a Sea Glass Picture Making Workshop at Bevere Gallery, and what a fabulous group of ladies we had.

One of the things we love most about our workshops is that we often start the morning as strangers and leave feeling like friends. There was lots of creativity, plenty of laughter, some beautiful pictures created along the way and, I’m pleased to report, Angie only broke one frame… which we’re counting as a result! 🤣🙈

A special mention also has to go to The Gallery at Bevere. What a gorgeous venue! With plenty of parking in the overflow car park, a beautiful setting and a café serving food that looked and smelled amazing, it’s well worth a visit.

In fact, Angie and I have already decided that next time we’ll be getting our husbands to meet us there for lunch afterwards! 🙏🏼🤣

Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday and made it such an enjoyable morning. We loved seeing your creations come to life and hope to welcome many more lovely crafters in the future.

🤔 Help us settle a debate!

If you were booking a craft workshop, would you choose:

☕ Half a day and leave with a finished project

OR

🎨 A full day with more time to create something larger?

There’s no right answer — we’re just curious! 😊

A huge welcome to all of our new followers.
A couple of weeks ago we introduced ourselves so now we’d like to share with you how it all began ……

💚 The Journey of Worcester Crafty Club 💚
Back in September 2024, we started making Christmas decorations using wooden slices, paint, glue, pebbles and a lot of imagination.
What we didn't expect was how many people would want to buy them!
The trouble was, with both of us working full-time, we quickly realised we didn't have enough hours in the day to keep up with demand.
One day I said to Angie,
💡 "They need to make their own!"
Angie looked at me and replied,
💡 "That's not a bad shout..."
And that's really where it all began.
That December we ran our very first workshop.
The following Christmas we made gorgeous burlap ruffle wreaths, they were a big hit!
Along the way we've tried all sorts of things, attended workshops ourselves, learned new skills, visited talented makers and enjoyed a few craft fairs too.
Then came the sea glass pictures.
One of our favourite things has been seeing people's creations come to life and watching the pride on their faces when they realise what they've achieved. Many tell us they haven't made anything since school, which makes it even more special.
What we love most of all is meeting new people, sharing ideas and encouraging others to have a go.
And now we're about to begin our next chapter...
🌊 Sea Glass Picture Workshops throughout June and July
🌸 Mosaic Garden Art Workshops in August

There are moments when we have a brief thought of...
"Are we completely mad?" 🤣
But we’ve decided not to overthink it as overthinking rarely ever gets you anywhere.

So for now we're just going to keep enjoying the journey and see where it takes us.
If there's one thing we've learned, it's that we'll pretty much have a go at anything! 🤣

We’d love your suggestions on what you think we should try next….. and maybe we just might 😉

We’ve got some exciting news to share…

🌸 Worcester Crafty Club has a new baby! 🌸

Over the past few months we’ve been busy creating, testing, tweaking and dreaming up something new.

Introducing our Blooming Lovely Garden Art Workshops!

We’ll be teaching people how to create their own mosaic Flower Pops & small Bird Baths or Bee Watering Stations, and we’re absolutely delighted that our first workshops have filled so quickly.

We originally offered places to people who had previously expressed an interest, which is why some of you may not have seen them advertised.

The good news is that we’re now looking at adding further dates and would love to know if this is something you’d be interested in.

We’re also incredibly excited to be showcasing our brand-new workshops at the fantastic Bransford Court Community Farm as part of their Worcestershire Open Studios running for 10 days from 22nd August.

There will be lots to see and enjoy, including yoga, willow weaving Willow With Jo and other talented local makers and artists. Not to mention fingers crossed a beautiful display of sunflowers in the field adjacent .
It’s a wonderful opportunity to spend a day exploring, supporting local creativity and perhaps finding a new hobby along the way.

Thank you for supporting our crafty adventures. We genuinely never imagined our little Flower Pops would lead us here!
Angie and Alison 💚

💍 From Pendant to Ring… and What a Ring! 💍

Today we headed to Salt Way Silver and were taught by Jonathan.

It was my second time here, but Angie’s first, and this time we were learning how to create a bezel setting for a piece of sea glass.

Angie and I had far too much choice when it came to choosing our pieces and it’s fair to say every single one we loved was on the large side! 😅

All morning we were convinced we were making pendants, but at some point the wind changed and we both decided to make rings instead! 🤣

First we learnt how to create a bezel setting in copper using a glass cabochon before moving on to silver and our chosen sea glass pieces.

There was plenty of concentration, a few nervous moments and the occasional “please don’t let me ruin it now” thought as we carefully shaped and set our pieces.

Everyone did so well and Jonathan was incredibly patient and knowledgeable throughout the day.

And my finished ring?

Well… let’s just say it’s not exactly subtle.

Quite honestly, it’s a ring Joan Collins would have been proud to wear! 💎✨

A huge thank you to Jonathan for another fantastic workshop.

Now tell me…
Have you visited Saltway Silver and what did you make?
Would you have chosen a pendant or a ring? 💚

Angie and Alison 💚
