Make Your Own Woodland Decorations

Saturday 7 December 2024, 2pm - 5pm

£30

Venue: MAKE Southwest

Suitable for: Mixed Ages

Level: All Abilities

 

Join Sarah Drew, Katie Bunnell and Donna Burns to make gorgeous Christmas decorations inspired by their Canopy exhibition in our Makers Showcase Gallery. Cut out and patinate copper leaves, gild ceramic texture pieces and crochet a cocoon bauble from recycled textiles.

We’ll bring loads of materials to choose from, but you can bring along and incorporate found elements from your garden or local woodland such as green twigs, pine-cones, acorns, conkers, feathers and any other seed cases. It’s nice to make pieces that mean something to you…

It’s a relaxed workshop, perfect for beginners: adults and children over 11 years old are very welcome. Children must be accompanied by an adult ticket holder. 

Everyone should leave with at least x3 beautiful Christmas decorations to keep year after year, or give away as a special, handmade gift.

All materials and equipment will be provided. 

 

Part of the Green Maker Initiative Season

Throughout November, December and January we’ll be celebrating our Green Maker Initiative (GMI) Season; hosting events, workshops and exhibitions themed around the natural world and championing sustainable craft.
