The experience

This workshop invites you to create and connect with likeminded people while being mentored and guided by Kate Thompson. Enjoy gathering unique pieces that you have collected over the years that were once hidden in drawers. Honour your vintage treasures, from personal mementoes to found objects, by cherishing them in your art book. You will leave with a tattered and torn, timeworn book, filled with details that capture the past and memories of new.
