Workshops

Upcycling for every kind of maker.

Upcycled materials, small groups, and the belief that creativity is already in you. I just help you tap into it.

Carve & Press

90 minutes · £25 per person

Carve a small stamp from a lino sheet. Print it onto a favourite piece of clothing you bring along. Walk out wearing a design that is entirely yours.

I carve stamps from lino sheets using simple, safe tools. No expensive kit. No experience needed. Bring a shirt, jacket, tote bag, jeans or anything that feels tired, boring or too good to waste. I will help you plan a whimsical design, print it in fabric paint and give your old garment a new story. Every piece is different because every maker is different.

Ages 5 and up; children under 13 join with a parent and come free
Up to 10 makers per session (a parent + child counts as one booking)
Bring one item of clothing you would love to refresh; lino, fabric paint and tools are provided
Wear clothes that can get painty
Take your refreshed garment and your stamp home

Patch & Press

90 minutes · £25 per person

Make a whimsical patchwork panel by hand. Then take it home and heat press it onto anything: your jeans, your jacket, your bag, your child's backpack. Anything.

I work only with upcycled fabric so bring your own forgotten scraps, old clothes or worn pieces, or use what I have in the studio. Nothing is bought new for this session. Everything starts as something else. That's the whole point.

Up to 10 makers per session (a parent + child counts as one booking)
Bring your own upcycled fabric scraps or use mine, your choice
Take your finished panel home to press onto anything

1:1 with Aparna - Private Session

60–90 minutes · From £40

Some people need their own pace. Their own space. Their own brief. My 1:1 sessions are built entirely around you - or your child.

Whether that's building creative confidence, exploring a medium, preparing a portfolio, or just having time and permission to make something without an agenda.
