The Neighbourhood workshop encourages participants, whether they have experience sewing or not, to create characters from simple preprepared bodies, arms and legs, masses of fabric offcuts, buttons and bits and pieces. 

First conducted in 2004 as part of the Neighbourhood book, this latest workshop – a day long frenzy of cutting, sewing and stuffing – was held at the Pictoplasma Festival 2014 in Berlin in conjunction with Felt Mistress. All the results can be seen here.
