Coil Pots at Abakhan Mostyn

Let's sew with Abakhan! These lovely pots are quite addictive to make and mesmerising to watch them grow on your machine. In this four hour workshop you will make your own pots from lengths of rope. Molly will demonstrate how to add handles and wrap the rope with fabric to add variation and colour to your pots. The uses for the pots are too many to list here and they can be made in a variety of sizes. Molly provides a detailed worksheet of useful hints and tips to remind you for when you want to make more at home. Skill level: Familiarity with using a machine is useful, but not essential.

This interest has remained an important part of my life, from making Christmas presents on my Nana’s old treadle machine; to teaching multiple skills at the Knitting & Stitching Shows, as well as Festival of Quilts. After a 35 year career as an Occupational Therapist in the NHS, I changed direction in 2016 and focused more on teaching skills to others and working on my own projects. I have mastered a wide repertoire of skills in both Knitting and Sewing. I teach a wide range of knitting techniques, from Entrelac to Magic Loop. But sewing is where my strongest passion lies. The back bone of this is in making clothes. However, I have a keen interest in exploring the variety of ways to embellish fabrics, especially by Shisha, free motion embroidery and Quilting. It might look like these are all just different tangled threads, but my aim is to bring it all together into a beautiful fabric of coherent and unique wearable art.
