Crafting workshops
Book binding workshop
In this workshop you will learn how to make your own notebook or travel journal from recycled leather and paper.
It is said that writing things by hand instead of digitally helps memorization and focus. And is there anything cooler than a self-made custom notebook?
In the notebook workshop we’re binding books by hand using traditional binding methods. The materials are recycled: pages from print shop surplus paper, ends from either recycled leather or cardboard and cloth. These notebooks are truly one-of-a-kind!
This workshop is ideal for groups of 10-30 people and lasts for 1-2 hours. Bookbinding is an ideal activity for starting out a day of planning, as a side-activity for a meeting, for an away-day or for customer events.
Art belongs to everyone!
In this workshop we’re making art and enjoying colors regardless of prior drawing or painting experience, using acrylic paint, templates, stamps, magic ink et cetera. As a base we’ll use recycled materials, such as cardboard, tiling, convention mats, old kitchenware, and eggshells for example. The pieces are made per person or as small teams, and finally the finished works can be collected to form a collage, which can be hanged on the wall as a memory of this shared moment. Maybe some cubist portraits would lighten up the coffee room walls? When made from textiles, the finished works also work as acoustic elements.
The workshop lasts for about 1-2 hours, but some of the shops can be implemented in a non-stop style for larger events, where a single work is ready in just a couple of minutes. This workshop also fits well into the start of a team-day for waking up creativity, or to the end of the day, to inspire attendees and help them wind down.
Leather jewelry workshop
In this workshop we’re turning old leather jackets into trendy jewelry: earrings, bracelets, necklaces, keyrings or even earpod-holders. With the encouraging guidance of Tuunaajamutsi, attendees design and assemble their own upcycled pieces. All tools and materials needed are provided by Tuunaajamutsi.
