Forhands Collective Workshop

Over the past few months we’ve been hosting an array of Sunday morning craft workshops here in our Edinburgh store. At Bohemia, we share a love of the handmade, so it only seemed right that we invite some talented local craftspeople to come and share their wisdom with us! Here’s how we got on...

Forhands

To kick off the fun, Lotte from The Forhands Craft Collective taught two fantastic classes in wood whittling. Her students learnt to carve their very own wooden spoon or traditional Scandinavian smörkniv (butterknife).

Lafafa

Last but by no means least, Agata from Lafafa is a specialist in organic soaps and cosmetics. Attendees of her Facial Oil and Mask-making workshop learnt which organic ingredients worked with their skin types and created a personalised oil and mask full of botanicals to take home with them!
