Evening Workshop: Festive Felt Decorations

Design and create a beautiful, festive felt decoration in this hands-on workshop with award-winning embroidery artist Jessica Grady.   

Create your own stitched felt decoration such as a tree, bird or shaped bauble, with added hand stitch and embellishment details. Each decoration will be topped with a ribbon loop and filled with stuffing to create a unique decoration. 

You will leave the session with your own beautiful festive decoration to add to your tree or give as a gift to friends or family.  

This workshop is suited to all abilities (a basic level of sewing skills is helpful but not essential), and all materials are provided. The workshop is limited to 12 participants, so you get plenty of support and the benefit of Jessica’s expertise. We recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.
