The Workshop
With December just round the corner and the Christmas excitment building come and join us to make some beautiful homemade items to show off with pride!
Your tutor, Alyson, is looking forward to meeting you and says:
“Book Folding takes many forms that have grown in popularity over the last few years. However, book folding was around in this country many years ago when churches made Hymnal angels from old hymn books.
This light hearted Christmas workshop is demonstrates the basic skills needed to produce this popular art. Ideal to give as a gift or a bespoke item for the home.
Learn how to apply folds to a book to create a mini tree hanger and a Yule Log place setting. Once folded you will be able to decorate your pieces with seasonal ribbon and embellishments before taking them home with you.
