workshops

ASTRL Fibres workshops encourage you to think with your hands, embrace a willingness to play, allow yourself the space to be creative and find connection in the act of making.  

Alison is a professional macrame artist and craftsperson with a passion to share the skills and benefits of practicing craft. Offering tailored workshops and courses for all skill levels and group sizes, Alison’s sessions explore craft as a mindful meditation and an inclusive creative experience. Courses are suitable for absolute beginners and for those interested in further developing their skills.

The ASTRL Fibres Studio is a dedicated craft workshop and learning space. Located in East Belfast, the studio offers a relaxed space for small, in person workshops. 

Here’s what some past participants have to say…
