- Landlord to evict The Leadmill and force us out of business -

Today we have received some devastating news that in 1 year's time, our Landlord is trying to evict us, forcing us to close.

Since 1980 The Leadmill has spent millions of pounds on what was a derelict warehouse, transforming it into one of the U.K’s most respected venues where countless acts from across the globe have performed over the years.

Please show your support by sharing this news & sharing your best memories that we can gather to help show them reasons why

Introducing our Makers 😊

Up next is Grace

Grace Jackson of I Make Everything (www.imakeeverything.co.uk) joins us from darkest West Yorkshire where she spends her time making things, from corsets to cakes, hats to houses, mittens to mosaics. She also teaches all aspects of makery in her home (which she made) on residential making-things retreats for individuals or small groups.

Grace will be showing you how to make: Mini bonsai blossom trees -
Make a tiny bead and wire bonsai tree by twisting beads onto wire and twisting wires together to build up branches and a trunk before separating the "roots" to anchor it to a pebble. You'll be making a very small tree, but the technique scales up infinitely, assuming you've got infinite patience for twisting wire.

Introducing our Makers 😊

Up next is Tamara

"A few years ago I helped my sister to re-decorate her living room and we went for the "boho -style". We wanted to incorporate macrame plant hangers and wall hangings but at the time they were quite expensive and there weren't so many places where you could buy them. So I decided to do a course and learn how to do it myself. I then taught my daughter and we became quite addicted to making plant hangers in different designs and colours and we even started selling them at farmers markets and online. I also enjoy teaching (I'm a German teacher) and so I started teaching people the basics of macrame. I run workshops for the University of Sheffield Student Union and sometimes for small groups at home. These are usually 2-3 hour workshops for beginners where you can learn more complex knots to make larger plant hangers."

Tamara will be teaching you how to make: Macrame plant hangers -
Learn how to make a simple macrame hanger, with colourful twine and a mason jar. Back home, you can fill it with a little succulent, a candle or some fairy lights. Once you have learned the technique, you can easily recreate it many times with materials you will probably have at home - an old jam jar and some household twine. You'll always be able to quickly hand-make a little cute present for someone at short notice.
