We will use found materials and botanicals to create unique Christmas cards (or send them in any season) to take home and give to friends and family.
We will be using found items, flowers and leaves collected on the croft, printing onto paper and card. You can create cards to be sent -or even framed as pieces of art. Part of our plastic-free Christmas series
Each participant will go away with 5 hand-printed greeting cards, as well as practise prints on newsprint, and the skills and knowledge to create more prints in the future.
You will be taking your creations home with you, ready to gift with love to your family and friends, for Christmas or throughout the year depending on the designs you create.
Bring enthusiasm to explore and learn.
