Throughout October, we are asking our supporters to carry an item of their choosing for a full 24hours, to represent the invisible burden that people with mental health difficulties carry every single day.
How to take part:
1) Choose an item to carry for a full day! Perhaps you have a giant teddy bear? An orange teapot? An exercise ball? Perhaps a tin of beans?! Maybe it’s something that means something to you about your mental health. Feel free to get creative with this.
2) Start the day with posting a selfie with your object online, stating “I’m Carrying the Burden to support Leeds Mind because…” (example: I’m Carrying the Burden to support Leeds Mind because I want to support other people like me who struggle with depression #CarrytheBurden)
3) Share your updates throughout the day, using the hashtag #CarrytheBurden
4) Finish your day with your final update, making a donation to Leeds Mind, and nominate 3 friends to take on the challenge during October.

Felting Workshop with Natalia Sauvignon
2016-12-10 10:00 - 15:30 | Inkwell Arts, Potternewton Lane, Leeds, United Kingdom
Felt is the oldest form of cloth known and has been used by many cultures to make clothes, footwear, rugs and even shelters such as the Yurt. Today, felting is a popular and skilled craft that is highly versatile, and once mastered, one can create an array of wonderful flat cloths or 3D sculptures.
In our one day workshop you will learn the two most popular felting techniques: wet felting and needle felting. The class will teach you how to create sculptures and beautiful flat textiles from wool with talented artist Natalia Sauvignon.
ABOUT NATALIA…
Natalia is an experienced and self trained wool artist who has exhibited widely in West Yorkshire. Her magnificent felted jewelry and sculptures play with enlarged, tactile compositions and lively colours. Natalia’s work blurs the lines between fine arts and craftwork. In this workshop she will share with you her hints and tips to help you create beautiful woolen pieces yourself. The workshop will give you the opportunity to make unique hand felted decorations, vessles, sculptures and creatures.
