Make Your Own Butterfly Frame Workshop in Battersea

London Makers Market will be hosting a number of creative workshops on Tuesday evenings this Autumn in Battersea. As the days get shorter, there's nothing more satisfying than getting creative with friends and family in a cosy environment. There will also be a mini market at each of these events, showcasing a collection of small business treats, ideal for Christmas gifts and celebrations.

The Workshop:

Join our “Make Your Own Butterfly Frame” workshop in collaboration with London Makers Market, we’re so excited to be teaching in South London!

In this 2-hour session we will introduce you to the wonders of entomology and you will go home with a mesmerising butterfly frame. After a brief demonstration and some tips and instructions you will have the opportunity to work your own set of colourful butterflies.

What’s included?

- 5 butterflies & a box frame

- a setting board and pair of premium tweezers(that can be used again after the workshop should you want to keep practicing)

- setting paper, pins and scissors

We’ve always been attracted to natural wonders and love nothing more than to preserve their beauty - but it is very important to note that all butterflies are sourced as responsibly and ethically as possible.

This workshop will be run by Hannelore, Founder of UC Studio. Hannelore makes beautiful entomology arrangements in her West London studio. She sells a range of framed, domed and one-of-a-kind showstoppers as well as antique prints in her online shop and studio.

The Venue:

This session will take place at the gorgeous Duchess Belle pub in Battersea, in their private room upstairs. The pub has a friendly cosy atmosphere and dates back to 1883. Situated in the heart of Battersea, close to Battersea Cats and Dogs Home, and nearby stations - Battersea Power Station and Vauxhall, it is easy to get to.

You will be able to buy food and drink at the pub, and they often have food deals to tempt you. We would advise getting to the venue earlier than the class start time so that you can order refreshments.

Parking is free from 6.30pm if you can find a space in nearby streets behind the pub (Thessaly Road/Stewart's Road/Ascalon Street). Please note that you can only access these streets from Wandsworth Road, not Battersea Park Road.

Duchess Belle, 101 Battersea Park Rd, Nine Elms, London, SW8 4DS.

London Makers Market:

As a platform driven by creativity and community, we are teaming up with lots of workshop hosts to help support them in the lead up to Christmas and bring our network something a little different.

We have been hosting online and physical events since LMM was born in February 2020. These have helped support and connect over 500 small businesses with interested customers and other creatives. We are looking forward to working with House of Vans to host two Christmas Markets this year. It would be great to see you at theses events on 27th November and 4th December.
