Join artist, teacher and maker Liz Wellby, at The Slipper Studio on the edge of the Peak District and create beautiful Winter decorations for you home.
It always seems such a shame that we take down our Christmas decorations just when it’s so dull and dark and when we still need beautiful objects around us; so how about taking a day out for yourself and learn how to make your own beautiful Winter decorations using vintage papers?
Learn the skills to continue creating further pieces at your kitchen table and perhaps make lovely gifts for your friends and family, but don’t be surprised if you keep them all for yourself.
Liz will host the workshop in her home studio. The venue is beautifully presented, with handcrafted workbenches and a wood burner, with views down into the village.
