Watershed Studio

Looking forward to welcoming Melanie Blaikie back in June for this wonderful polymer clay jewellery course - like Melanie says, bring out your Prue Leith!!

We are very excited that Amanda Brett will be with us again for another super two days of watercolour fun at the beginning of June! 2nd and 3rd. Several people said last summer it was one of the best courses they’d attended!!

Catherine Guilder is with us at Watershed for three exciting evening workshops this year - making natural fibres, natural skin care and makeup and natural dying.....

Sylvia Paul is running a collage course here at Watershed in March - 10th &/or 11th - you can do one or two days. Always inspiring and exciting!

Melanie Blaikie will be at Watershed on the 9th June for day making this amazing jewellery! Another craft we can't wait to try!

These woolly friends are waiting to join Winnie the Pooh in Australia to become a cot mobile. It’s amazing what you can craft with a bit of loose wool and special needles! We only have a couple of spaces left on our next needle felting course on the evening of March 5th! We will be crafting a little bear. Let us know if you’re interested?

We are really looking forward to welcoming Catherine Guilder to Watershed this summer!

Catherine Guilder will be coming to Watershed several times this summer for some very interesting evenings - the first is on how to make your own sustainable fibres. Did you know you could grow your own fabric! On this practicable hands on workshop, you will learn how to process simple plants such as Flax and Nettle into useable fibre and turn it into fabric. Learn how to wret, scutch and spin fibre and then use simple weaving techniques from the past to make thread, braid and cord. Further evenings are on how to make your own natural skincare products and make up followed by another evening on natural dyes - versatile and very knowledgeable lady!

A new needle felted polar bear for the new year! Come and make your own bear with us on the evening of Thursday March 5th. Your design is up to you? It’s a fabulous medium for sculpting and experimenting and ridiculously addictive. £30 for the evening with everything included.

It’s Christmas!! Have a good time and wishing you a fabulous 2020! Thanks for your support and friendship throughout 2019!!

The ducks are still loving our new lake!! However it’s actually stopped raining now!

The ducks at least are enjoying the flooded water meadow!! The horse is less keen, enjoying the weather from the stable door!! And still it rains!!

The last few wreaths waiting to be delivered this week!! Next job is to clean out the studio ready for St Osyth Historical Society’s Christmas party - glad the festive lights will be in use again!

Just a few of the stunning wreaths that were created last night at our final wreath making evening. Most people were absolute beginners but you would never know. Great ideas for decorating too - love it. A big thanks to the team who ensured there was lots of one to one help and also kept the mulled wine flowing! 😊😊. We’ve already got bookings for next year!! A massive thanks to all of you who came this week - Christmas has started. 🎄🎄😊

What a great group came to the studio last night! New faces as well as our regular Christmas wreath makers. Thank you Natalie for bringing your lovely friends and you’re all booked in for next year!! Great to see everyone else too - for most it was their first time and the wreaths were amazing!!

More stunning wreaths created at tonight’s wreath making evening here at Watershed. Just love that buzz that everyone gets from being creative - so good for the soul!! Another great crowd!

Fabulous wreaths everyone! Well done and thanks for making it such a fun evening! One down, three to go! Last two pics show the different methods of working - one is neat and organised whilst the other just isn’t! To be honest this was the more common way! 🤣🤣
