Over the weekend, The Make Lounge hosted a creature-making workshop in conjunction with Loop featuring the lovely and talented Julie Arkell. (Yes, she really is that adorable in person!)
If you aren't familiar with her work, Julie is London-based contemporary folk artist who works in papier-mâché and mixed media. She runs workshops only occasionally and when she does, participants are in for a real treat!
The creatures, hand made by Julie, arrive looking very bare and slightly embarrassed. . .
Then throughout the day-long workshop, their new owners lovingly fashion hats, dresses, tops and tiny aprons from wool, scraps of vintage fabric, buttons, tiny pins, charms and other ephemera.
Aren't they amazing?
