The festive season has a way of sneaking up on us. It’s not long until you’ll be unravelling Christmas lights, dusting off baubles and opening the last chocolate from your advent calendar.  

Instead of rushing through the holiday preparation, why not swap the shopping lists and last-minute panic for moments of creativity, connection and hands-on fun? 

From handcrafted gifts to homemade meals, our short courses will help you create a Christmas that’s as meaningful as it is merry.

Make Pop-Up Christmas Cards

Nothing beats a customised, handmade card. A card that’s specially crafted to reflect your recipient – a thought, a laugh, or a moment you’ve shared that will hold meaning for years to come.  

It’s even more special when the card can spring to life! 

In our one-day pop-up Christmas cards workshop, you’ll explore the art of designing pop-up and 3D elements to add a ‘wow’ factor to your holiday cards. 

You’ll learn clever card-making techniques such as folding, scoring and layering to create cards that surprise, delight and warm the hearts of your nearest and dearest.
