Catch up with family and friends and unwrap the gift of creativity this Christmas at our festive workshops! Escape the hustle and bustle, take a moment for yourself, and let your creative juices flow. Enjoy a prosecco and treats while you embark on your creative journey, crafting a gorgeous gift or festive décor for your home.

Whether you're a seasoned artist or picking up a paintbrush for the first time, our workshops are designed for all skill levels. With step-by-step guidance and plenty of room for personal flair, you'll have a great time creating something special, no matter your experience.

Workshops will be led by local artist, Joanne Howard, where, between sips and chatter, you’ll craft a canvas befitting a Christmas queen. All materials and refreshments will be provided, but you may wish to bring an apron or clothing cover. And remember, you’ll need to transport your festive design home with you. This workshop will last approximately 2 Hours and will take place in the upstairs of Mrs. M in the Market Place.
