So I went to an amazing workshop with Mirva Craftspace to learn to make cloth sanitary pads! I know it's not to everyone's taste but anything to reduce some of the plastic we use is a plus for me. These are really soft and feel very comfortable - I need to wait to try them out but I reckon they will be awesome. Anyone else managed to go green during their time of the month?
Crafty Fridays: The activity today was to create colourful mandala rock. The group made tags as well. A challenge to use small but perfectly formed dots of acrylic colour on a Matt black surface. The colours really popped. A super group to work with today. See you again soon!

Come along on Friday morning to learn how to make cards using an unusual printing method. 11am -12.30pm
🔴 No-one wants to spot used period plastic waste* when strolling along or cleaning their local beach. But sadly it’s an all too common sight, with period products making the top 10 lists of plastic waste found on beach, river and street cleans.

🩸 Period pads can contain up to a whopping 90% plastic. With the average menstruating person using over 11,000 disposable pads and tampons over a lifetime, that’s a LOT of single-use plastic waste.

You could save money *and* reduce plastic waste by making your own period pads. Penzance’s Mirva Craftspace workshop this weekend (Saturday afternoon) will teach you how to do exactly that.

The workshop is from £12 per person and suitable for beginners. All materials will be provided, but, ideally, you’ll bring along your own sewing machine.

Get in touch with their Causeway Head shop to book, or get your ticket on EventBrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/csp-cloth-sanitary-pads-making-saturday-at-mirva-craftspace-tickets-163183699839

(Can’t make the workshop? There are more workshop dates coming up, and there’s some excellent tutorials on YouTube.)

If you’re unable to give up single-use plastic protection, please remember to never flush your period products (even if the label says ‘flushable’) and bin them instead. Check out http://www.wen.org.uk/ for more plastic free options too.

*While there should be no taboo about periods, we'd rather not have period waste polluting our planet 😉
