What does the workshop cover?This workshop will give you the opportunity to create your own tea-light. There will be three designs available for you to choose from, the meadow, hopping hares and Christmas reindeers. They will be printed in a variety of colours for you to choose from and embellish on the day using a mix of fabrics and threads.
