Shaped Pastie Making Workshop
Ever wonder how you make pasties into a shape? Here's your chance to try it hands on. We'll make the eternally adorable and classic heart shaped pasties, with tassels. There will be a kit, that includes:
- pastie pattern, with some options on sizing
- base buckram
- some heart appropriate covering fabric
- edge decoration
- tassels
Students will assemble pasties in class, and - if time permits - get some time to try their new creations out. In the process, we'll cover the techniques needed to create any pastie and talk through other tricks to making shaped pasties.
