About this Event

THIS IS A 7 WEEK COURSE STARTING MONDAY 3RD NOVEMBER UNTIL 15TH DECEMBER

Join Local Artist Alice Burford to embrace the festive season, enjoy learning a variety of Autumn/ Winter Crafts and create your own handmade gifts and wrapping.

Throughout the 7 weeks you will be exploring craft techniques and creating items such as greetings cards, wire decorations, wrapping paper, garlands, paper stars and more.

The crafts created within the course will have a focus on sustainability and use of natural materials, this will be a relaxed course with festive spirit in which you can take items home to decorate or give as gifts.

All materials are included and you will leave with your completed pieces and all the skills and confidence to carry on creating at home.

The course is suitable for complete beginners or those wanting to refresh their skills.
