Christmas Crafts: Christmas candle book art workshop
Make a perfect eco-friendly decoration with literary charm, giving an old book a beautiful new life this festive season.
- Booking essential
Under friendly, expert guidance, you’ll learn how to craft an elegant Christmas candle centrepiece made entirely from the pages of a recycled book — a unique decoration or a thoughtful handmade gift. No previous experience needed — just a love of creativity, upcycling, and Christmas decor.
All materials are provided (although please bring a craft knife), along with tea, coffee and cakes.
Examples of the Christmas book art can be seen in both Ightham Mote's bookshops.
