Felted and embroidered Christmas decorations.

Join our festive workshop to create meaningful and memorable gifts, decorations, key hangers, bookmarks, and more. You'll learn a variety of easy and creative textile techniques, including dry felting, embellishment, and hand embroidery — all suitable for complete beginners.

We'll be using beautiful upcycled and donated materials: tartan fabrics, wool from luxury packaging, and stunning beads gifted by a jewellery business. Expect vibrant colours, high-quality textures, and lots of inspiration.

No prior experience is needed, just a desire to create.
