Winter Workshops

This Greytown Winter Festival, Hall Concept Store is offering two different workshops in collaboration with Cuckoo Pizza. Join us for a lovely afternoon tea at Cuckoo while you learn the art of hand-sewing & stitching from tutor Lorraine, finishing with an exclusive shopping experience at Hall.

See below for more details on each workshop. We look forward to seeing you!

WORKSHOP

Sashiko & Stitch
with Afternoon Tea

This intimate workshop will introduce you to the traditional Japanese hand-sewing art of Sashiko, known for its simple patterns and meditative stitching. Originally developed as a way to repair and reinforce fabric, Sashiko is also celebrated as way to decorate textiles in a beautiful way.

Led by Lorraine from Hall and hosted in the warm, welcoming setting of Cuckoo, you’ll enjoy a delightful afternoon tea as you craft — complete with cake, a hot drink, plus a glass of wine or juice. 

Following the workshop, treat yourself to an exclusive shopping experience at Hall Concept Store. This is a perfect opportunity to explore beautifully curated homewares and slow fashion with a complimentary glass of bubbly.

The workshop utilises traditional hand-sewing methods and is machine-free. Basic sewing experience will be helpful — how to thread a needle, etc.

WORKSHOP

Walnut Pincushions
with Afternoon Tea

‎Handcraft two of your own vintage-style walnut pincushions - all natural, eco-friendly, and a lovely addition to your sewing kit. Walnut shells are sourced from a local tree, with a beautiful range of cotton fabrics to select from and wool stuffing. The natural lanolin in wool helps to keep your pins & needles sharp and rust free.
