Want to help with a little experiment? The last time we shared these gorgeous mice they were VERY POPULAR. Like, 500,000+ views very quickly levels of popular. Which was nice, but surprising.

So we’re curious. Is it the mice? Can they do that again just ‘cos they’re super cute? Or was it a weird blip in the algorithm that will never be repeated?

Here’s how you can help - if it’s the mice, give us like, maybe tell us the magical secrets of mice/algorithms in the comments. You’ll be helping to raise awareness of our parade crowdfunder and get a lovely warm glow of community support.

We’re a not-for-profit organisation making art like these mice with communities. Our local parade, the Hebden Bridge Handmade Parade is happening on 22 June and we’re always short of funds.

Bonus warm fuzzy feelings coming your way if you’re also able to donate - a quick click from the link in our bio will earn you lifelong gratitude from the dancing mice.

THANK YOU!❤️

Further development of our new Curlew puppets. We’re completely blown away by the quality of work being produced by our creative volunteer team. The batik wings are totally gorgeous. See them in flight on Sun 22 June as part of the Hebden Bridge Handmade Parade.

Oh yeah. Check us out, doing the casual workshop style thing. You know the parade deadline is fast approaching when the artistic team start thinking about our own parade costumes. @kneadnaan is gonna be OUTSTANDING - he’s only just started stilt-walking and clearly has plans for world domination. You don’t want to miss seeing this IRL on Sunday 22 June. Total treat for the eyes😍

Such a lovely, lovely time we’ve had this weeken

Such a lovely, lovely time we’ve had this weekend. The Hebden Bridge Handmade Parade workshops are officially up and running, and it’s been a proper joy. Cardboard, glue, sticks, fabric, tat we’ve found on the floor and a lot of laughs. This is how the best parades are made.
Gutted you missed it? Don’t fret! We’re back next weekend with another two days of making sessions. Join us, make something gorgeous and parade with us on Sunday 22 June.

☀️Saturday 14 June 10.30am–1pm AND 3–5.30pm
☀️Sunday 15 June 10.30am–1pm AND 3–5.30pm

at our workshop, Unit 5, Victoria Works, Victoria Rd, Hebden Bridge, HX7 8LN

The workshops are filled with inspiration, and all the materials and equipment you’ll need to make yourself look amazing on parade day.

We’ll have a team of artists ready to help you get creative, whether you’re a complete newbie or a professional artist.

The workshops are open to anyone - there will be families, individual adults, groups of friends - all will be welcome. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

We want to keep these sessions accessible to all, so if you can’t afford to pay, please come anyway. If you’re able to chip in, then £5/person will cover the costs of materials on your first session, then any extra visits are £1/session.

If you’d prefer to watch the parade but really want to support us in keeping these workshops accessible then please consider making a donation to our crowdfunder. Your help makes such a huge difference, THANK YOU!

These Curlew puppets are going to be STUNNING! Meticulous work from our “Making it Together” volunteers, lead by @govi.asano

They’ll be finished in time for the Hebden Bridge Handmade Parade on Sunday 22 June, so come and see them in full flight!

Did you know that it’s really easy to support our community work and help keep sessions like this accessible to all?
We know that many of you love watching the Handmade Parade and are very generous with donations on the day - this year we’re running a crowdfunder to save you carrying cash.

Every penny will go towards making our community workshops accessible to as many people as possible.

THANK YOU!❤️
