Mothers' Day: Handmade Flowers and Feathers

Celebrate Mother’s day with us and your mum/grandma by bringing her with you to our Handmade Flowers and Feathers workshop. Barbara will show you how to craft some simple flowers and feathers that can then be worn as brooches or hair ties. Morning tea will be provided and you will finish in plenty of time to take Mum out for lunch. Of course, you are also welcome to attend by yourself. This is a taster class for the more comprehensive Flower making workshop that we will run later in the year.
