'Tis the season to get crafty! Enjoy a relaxing evening creating handmade Christmas gifts and festive sparkle for your home.
Join us for Late Create Christmas (part 1!) on Friday 4 December.
Choose two of the 1-hour workshops listed below - all led by professional artists and makers in small groups, ensuring personalised attention and a relaxed atmosphere.
Painted Candles with Alex Williams Illustration
A fun and creative session where you'll learn how to paint and personalize your own beautiful candles. Whether you’re a beginner or have some painting experience, Alex will guide you through simple techniques to transform plain candles into pretty works of art. She will have plenty of suggestions and templates to trace in case you can't think of what to paint. I think these could also be the perfect handmade gifts.
Willow Stars with Amanda Webb
Work with Somerset willow to make a beautiful star to decorate your home this Christmas. It's a great introduction to the traditional craft of willow weaving with an excellent teacher who can take you step by step through the process. As the groups are small there's plenty of time to help each person.
Fabric Baubles with Ali Makes
Transform beautiful fabric remnants into a charming handmade Christmas bauble in this relaxed, festive workshop with textile designer Ali. You don't need to know how to sew! It's great to see how creativity and sustainability come together and that we don't need to fill our homes with plastic to celebrate Christmas.
Layered Monoprints with Jess Rafferty-White
You will start the workshop by layering watercolour bases and then printing seasonal foliage onto your textured papers. Using your prints you will then slice and arrange on to gift tags with ribbons and some very special Christmas cards. The perfect stationary to accompany your handmade gift.
Which workshops will you choose?
For just £37, all materials, the workshops, tea / coffee and homemade cake are included. You will learn new skills while crafting something beautiful to take home or gift. The venue is fully accessible, and there's nearby free car parking. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to unwind, create, and connect. You can also book a yummy pizza from Sara's Kitchen to be delivered to the venue between the two workshops at 7.30pm.
When you book, please remember to choose two tickets per person, one for each workshop - Workshop 1 and Workshop 2.
