Ultrasimple Upcylcing: Magical Possibilities
This series of classes holds upcycling at its core, with a mystery mission each session you will have the opportunity to be guided through a craft and then left to your own devices to truly make it your own! The aim of this class is to re-think what you may have lying around (or indeed what's on the scrappy shelves!) and make something beautiful, fun and/or unique with Charlotte. Craftiness & creativity is encouraged but not required, and all materials will be provided, keeping the class a fun surprise for all! It is expected that any student be unexperienced in the task and all we hope for is an open mind.
... And what better way to keep a mystery than a little clue to lure you in? This session will open up a world of magical possibilities....
