About this Event
Spend six cosy evenings getting ready for Christmas as the winter nights begin to draw in and discover the simple pleasure of making your own festive decorations and cards.
This friendly course is perfect for beginners, inspired by the warmth and simplicity of Nordic folk art, over the six weeks you’ll explore lino printing, papercutting and hand building with air dry modelling clay, creating three beautiful handmade Christmas treasures along the way.
We’ll begin with lino printing, designing and carving your own festive designs before printing a unique set of Christmas cards. You’ll have plenty of time to experiment with ideas and colour, and your handmade cards will be ready well in time for the Christmas post!
Next, you’ll create a beautiful Nordic inspired Christmas scene using the art of papercutting, which you’ll frame ready to bring a little festive magic to your home.
Finally, you’ll hand build a little Nordic Christmas house from air dry modelling clay, creating a miniature scene that comes to life with the warm glow of a tealight on a dark winter evening.
This course is designed as a chance to slow down, enjoy the cosy anticipation of Christmas and take pleasure in making something with your own hands.
