About this Event
This year, send Christmas cards you made yourself.
Join local artist Laura Matine of Cambridge Creative Corner for a cosy festive workshop. You'll design your own Christmas card, make it into a printing block and hand print a small run to share with friends and family.
Laura will guide you through traditional block printing techniques and show you how to print by hand. Keep it simple with a robin or a sprig of holly, or try something more ambitious. Then play with colour and layout as you print your set.
It's a relaxed, sociable evening. Plenty of time to share ideas, admire each other's designs and maybe even swap a card or two.
You'll leave with ten hand block printed Christmas cards, ready to send.
