A half day workshop where you'll create beautiful folded paper Christmas decorations for your Christmas tree. Guided by an established paper artist Kim Bevan, you'll learn the art of paper folding to craft unique ornaments inspired by Christmas at Chatsworth.
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.
This workshop is suitable for most abilities, but does require manual dexterity.
