Welcome to Kooshi Cushions








Hello and welcome to my blog. I'm Natasha and Kooshi Cushions is my new company. I'm based in Edinburgh, where I'm an Arts/Crafts Designer. I offer workshops to local groups and Primary Schools, so please get in touch if you'd like to discuss a project or a workshop.

I'll be launching my Kooshi website later this year but in the meantime I'd like to share some samples of my new work with you here. My work is textile based and combines a love of Folk Art and my traditional craft & making skills. I'm also very interested in Environmental issues, so there's a big emphasis on recycled materials.



Most of all my work is bright, fun to use and I hope stylish enough to look good in your house - or on you ! I'll be updating
the blog from time to time with new pieces, so do please keep an eye out, and don't forget to tell your friends.

Here's some pieces I'm working on for a stall at a local Primary School next month where we're promoting re-using and recycling. The bag below was made from a pair of old jeans and some pyjama trousers. I'll be teaching the kids to do finger knitting too, to make the straps. These are sweet little handbags - or great for collecting Easter eggs after the visit of the Easter Bunny.
