Craft a paper centrepiece, perfect for your Christmas table.
Under the guidance of paper artist Kim Bevan, design and assemble a delightful assortment of seasonal flowers and leaves to create a long-lasting centrepiece, complete with LED candle. These paper creations are the perfect way to decorate your home, crafted with eco-friendly materials like recycled paper, card, and wire.
All materials will be provided. If you have any wrapping paper you would like to recycle, please bring it along. The workshop includes a locally sourced graze box lunch from the Chatsworth Farm Shop, tea and coffee and complimentary tickets to the Chatsworth Garden to enjoy the Christmas light display after the workshop.
This workshop is suitable for most abilities, but does require manual dexterity. Please email education@chatsworth.org if you have any questions about accessibility. The Old Potting Shed is a step free, accessible venue.
