Collage & Embroidery Night

This month we're trying something new — collage meets embroidery 🧵 We'll be layering paper and stitching straight through it with embroidery thread, turning flat images into something textured, tactile and a little bit magic. Think embellished cards and small artworks you can only make with a needle in your hand.

Join us for a creative evening at Tun café and bar in Leyton. Let's gather round the big wooden tables and dedicate time to making with our hands.

We'll begin with a gentle warm-up to help you shift out of the busy day and into a softer, more spacious headspace. You’ll be guided step-by-step through how you can incorporate thread into your collage. No experience needed with collage OR embroidery — just enthusiasm, a willingness to play, and a desire to make something with your own hands.

Sometimes the hardest part of being creative isn't the making. It's finding the space, the time, the permission to slow down.

That's why these nights exist: a protected pocket of time where you can arrive, breathe, and let your hands MAKE.
