Baltic Shop Creates: An Origami Bag

Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead
5 November 2023
1pm - 4pm
Included in general admission

Join us for a sewing workshop making your own block geometric print origami bag with textile designer, Amy Trainor.

You’ll be making your own block geometric print origami bag with complimentary lining and sturdy handle. This stylish bag is similar in size to a tote bag and will be big enough to hold everyday essentials such as a purse, mobile phone, water bottle and make-up bag.

During the workshop you will learn how to do the following;

Thread a sewing machine/wind a bobbin

Cut out an origami bag pattern

Sew pattern pieces accurately and top stitch using a computerised sewing machine

Fold the fabric using an origami technique and sew in position

Make a handle and attach to the bag

Suitable for beginners as well as those with sewing experience.

All materials and equipment will be provided on the day.

Refreshments provided.

Amy is founder of Kaleidoscope Textiles, a sustainable bag and fashion accessory brand. She works with high-quality, bold, bright fabric to create bags and accessories that stand out from the crowd.

£50, booking essential. Please note that we cannot provide refunds on this event.
