Project Bag Weekend Workshop – Heidelberg Studio

Project Bag Weekend Workshop – Heidelberg. Two days in the ColourSpun studio, making a project bag based on a Japanese rice bag, roomy, sturdy, and finished with your own embroidery or  embellishment. Over the weekend, you will learn the full construction of the bag, a few different embellishment techniques, and several ways to make your own cords, so you leave with more than just one finished piece, you leave with skills you can use again and again.

Limited to 8 people, so it stays small and hands on.
