Learn to sculpt 3D flowers from paper in this creative short course

THIS IS A 3 WEEK COURSE STARTING MONDAY 5th October until 19th October 2026.

Explore nature through paper making with local Artists Alice Burford.

In this three-week course you will learn to sculpt 3D flowers and leaves to create your very own bunch of crepe paper flowers.

These are perfect for decorating your home or are a lovely idea for a homemade gift.

All materials are included and you will leave with your completed pieces and all the skills and confidence to carry on making at home.

The course is suitable for complete beginners or those wanting to refresh their skills.

Hot drinks and biscuits are included.
