Brooch Making Class - NSW Seniors Festival
Free workshop for seniors
2 hours
8 to 12
label
Free
These beautiful brooches were handmade during an era when fashionable materials were in short supply due to the war effort, and people were adept at the concept of Make Do and Mend. They're making a comeback now due to more and more people showing interest in sustainable fashion.
In this free seniors class, you will learn how to use tubing gathered from coathangers to make these beautiful floral arrangements. It's up to you whether you use it as a brooch, an earring or as a decoration.
This class will be lead by Ffranses Ingram, a visual artist and illustrator living in the Inner West. She has been working in textiles since a child, studied at the School of Wool and Textiles in Adelaide, and has just returned from a two-month residency at the Textile Centre in Iceland where she explored prodrugs using Icelandic materials.
Having been brought up in Wales, textiles had to be functional - an idea which she has never really shaken off. She has tried to make her functional items as beautiful and colourful as possible.
This workshop is free for seniors, thanks to co-funding by a NSW Seniors Festival Grant provided by the Department of Communities and Justice.
At the end of the workshop, you are welcome to join a tour of the Reverse Garbage warehouse.
Please note:
We work very hard to reach our minimum numbers for every workshop, but sometimes (not very often) we just don't get there. When this happens, we need to cancel. To be fair to our team members and to you, we make this decision around five business days before the event.
- Two hours of expert tuition
- All materials will be supplied
- The skills to continue on their own
Reverse Garbage has had both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, and adheres to COVID-19 government guidelines. They won't run this class if they've had flu symptoms in the last 14 days.
Additional precautions taken: COVID Safe plan in place

Wonderful class, really enjoyed it. Francis is an excellent teacher, good clear instructions, friendly and warm. She made sure everyone was able to conquer the tiny fiddly parts. The brooches themselves were so clever,a few discarded bits of plastic tubes and voila! Really cute vintage style brooches. Excellent.

The tutor was welcoming. All materials provided. It was fun learning something new that dated from so long ago. The tutor was helpful to everyone, was very pleasant & positive giving plenty of encouragement. I managed to create a quite attractive brooch with my fumbly fingers!
Ana Cavagnola • Apr 2021
Class was very entertaining. Teacher communication skills was very good, all materials were provided and ready to start making the piece. I enjoyed the workshop very much and was pleased to be using the materials provided. It’s amazing How you can repurpose materials that are already there. Thank you
