Lucy runs workshops in Papercutting, Freehand Machine Embroidery as well as workshops for those wishing to make their own set of Wonder Crackers. Pease see below for a full list of all upcoming dates. If you have any questions please email [email protected]
WONDER CRACKER WORKSHOPS
A Wonder Cracker looks like a traditional paper cracker, and pulls apart in the same way with that all-important snap. However the innovative design of these fabric crackers means that you’ll be able to keep them and reuse them year after year. Once a Wonder Cracker has been pulled apart, it’s easy to replace the snap and seal the cracker back up, ready for the next celebration!
These workshops are suitable for a new beginner, meaning someone who is familiar with how to thread a sewing machine and how to sew in a straight line. At some venues, indicated by *, attendees need to bring along their own sewing machine
