Description
Get creative with hammer, nails and colourful thread in this festive workshop! String art (sometimes called pin and thread art or filography) is a fun craft where you tap a simple design into wood with small nails, then weave and wrap thread to bring it to life. Under the guidance of our tutor, you’ll learn how to plan and build your piece – whether you’d like to follow one of our tutor’s seasonal patterns or create a design of your own. Perfect for handmade gifts or unique decorations, your finished piece will be ready to take home and enjoy for the holidays. No experience needed – just a love of making. Please note, this involves the use of a hammer and small metal pins.
