Join us to craft your own personalised paper keepsake, to gift or to keep.

This workshop is open to all and no previous experience is required!

The history of the Puzzle Purse:

Puzzle Purses have been used since the 18th Century as a way of exchanging romantic messages, but were so popular in the Victorian period that they are often referred to as 'Victorian Puzzle Purses'. To this day, Puzzle Purses still capture the imagination, providing endless ways in which to present tokens of love, private messages, or unexpected treats.
