Create a beautiful handcrafted fabric and bead garland — celebrate Christmas with something made slowly, beautifully and by hand.

Join us for a relaxed and creative morning making your own handcrafted garland from a mix of themed fabrics and wooden beads. You’ll cut fabric shapes using our templates — petals, leaves and other organic forms — then thread them together with beads to create a garland approximately 180 cm long.

Your garland can be hung vertically or horizontally — perfect as a Christmas decoration, or as a soft, textural accent in any room all year round (depending on fabric selection of course).

We’ll provide a variety of Christmas-themed fabrics, calico and natural wooden beads, but you’re welcome to bring your own fabrics if you’d like to match a particular colour palette or décor. Our fabric selection will vary (we can’t guarantee specific patterns), so bringing along your own stash is a great idea if you have something special in mind.

This is a wonderful workshop to enjoy with a friend or family member, and a lovely option for creative kids aged 12 and up. Children under 16 must be accompanied by a participating adult with their own booking.

Cancellation Policy: Due to the seasonal nature of this workshop it can not be cancelled or rescheduled. You are welcome to send someone else in your place if you can't make it on the day. In most of our workshops we require a minimum number of people to run the workshop and will do our absolute best to run every workshop we list but occasionally it is not commercially feasible to do so. In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we may cancel the class; in this case, we'll inform you and allow you to get a full refund or reschedule.
