20 December: Rolled Beeswax Candle Making You’ll make a beautiful pair of chunky rolled beeswax candles, decorate them with dried fruits and festive embellishments, then nestle them together in a kraft gift box.
But we’re not stopping there…
You’ll also try your hand at Indian block printing, creating your own festive gift tag and a sheet of hand-printed wrapping paper to complete your present.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a gorgeous handmade Christmas gift that’s almost too lovely to give away.
26 December: Boxing Day Craft Buffet
We’ll be bringing along a fabulous assortment of materials, projects and crafty bits and pieces left over from our workshops throughout the year. Some you’ll recognise, others might be a complete surprise!
