This FREE workshop from 'Let's Make Art' is for all the family to enjoy together!

This year Christmas is going to be different and it will affect people in various ways. An important consideration will be the careful spending and thrifty ways to keep the cost of celebrating to a minimum. This activity will bring family members together to create items to decorate rooms, play fun games with and relieve stress. Family Surprise Balls are an alternative and eco-friendly way of packaging small treats, notes and trinkets for children and grown ups.

'Let's Make Art' are creating this special video workshop for the youngest to the oldest in your household to enjoy in that time between Christmas and New Year when families are always looking for new activities. This pass-it-on style workshop conveys a message about what’s important, and it's a way to bring families together online or at home through fun forfeits and treats.

Materials list:

• crepe paper streamers in assorted colours  (or crepe paper sheets cut into one inch strips)
• 10 assorted treats/trinkets/gifts as well as forfeits and jokes
• scissors
• washi tape (or any paper based tape that can be recycled)
• quick drying glue for the final seal such as PVA
• ribbon or stickers to finish (optional)
• pen and scrap paper for writing out forfeits and jokes

• items close to hand you might need for the forfeits when you come to play the game

The workshop is being delivered via video. The video link will be sent out on 21st Dec. If you book after 21st Dec you can follow the link here

Due to the coronavirus closures we have had to make decisions on our programme and decided to continue with our winter activities online. We do hope you will enjoy the fun of an artist-led workshop at home.
