Carers Break No.3

Japanese Stab Stitching on Simple Handmade Books

We had a very industrious workshop this afternoon with a nice group of creative people. 
We brought lots of different types of papers - wrapping paper, wallpaper, decorative serviettes, coloured paper, handmade paper, and marbled paper. We demonstrated how to bind the papers together using a technique called "Japanese stab stitch" which gives a good strong finish. Our next Carers Break workshops are Tuesday 28th August at Nottingham Rd Fire Station, Chaddesden 6-9pm Stencilling Thursday 13th September - Heart of Park building, Arboretum Park, Normanton 12- 3pm Collage If you would like to come along please contact us for further information.
We also drank tea and had a good chat about Derby's cinema's and dance halls of yesteryear.
