Dirty Weekend - Fabric Mixed Media Journal

The IndigoBlu Zoom workshops have been my silver-lining during these difficult years of the pandemic.

I’d seen the Dirty Weekend Workshops being advertised and always wished that I could attend, but for one reason or another I was never able to…it was a case of “wishful thinking”…so when the online workshops were advertised I booked immediately.

To be able to virtually meet up in the comfort of your own home and be taught amazing crafting techniques by Kay, who is an extremely talented person, has to be one of the best ways to spend a weekend.

Far more frightening than a white paper is owning so many craft tools and materials but not know how to use them! Kay is a very friendly and patient teacher, and I have come away from these workshops having learnt a lot of new techniques and now understand better when to use what product.
The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, and you can do everything at your own pace without feeling the pressure that you are falling behind everyone. The recorded lessons are a real bonus, as you can re-watch anything that you wish to go over.

I would recommend everyone to give the virtual workshops a try.

As a novice paper crafter - more of a watcher than a doer - I was pleased to be able to join the course from the safety of my own home, knowing that I could switch the camera off to save my blushes. It was very enjoyable with lots of variety and lovely papers and paints to play with. Kay kept us busy and inspired over the two days and I was pleased and slightly surprised at what I managed to create at my kitchen table.

This Virtual Dirty Weekend was awesome and really enjoyable! I learnt lots of new techniques during the weekend and I was really a happy with the finished journal. All thanks to Kay taking us step-by-step on how to create these beautiful journals, from the comfort of your own home. I attended a Virtual Dirty Weekend in 2021 with my husband and we both really enjoyed it, and so we have booked on to more in 2022. I am now looking forward to the next Virtual Dirty Weekend. I would highly recommend booking onto one of these Dirty Weekends.
