StraightCurves Christmas Craft Workshops

StraightCurves have a range of different workshops this Christmas time including a needle felted elf, mixed media decorations and paper cutting greeting cards!

Needle felted owl or robin

Make a felted owl or robin in this one off workshop. Needle-felting (sometimes called dry felting), is a technique of felting wool fibres with the aid of special barbed needles. It’s a great way to create 3D sculptures. In this class, you can make your very own needle felted owl or robin.

Needle felted elf

Create a needle felted elf using wool fibres! The decoration can be a standing ornament for a mantel piece or shelf, or you can add a loop to make a Christmas tree decoration!

Sketching with watercolours

Bring your sketches to life with splashes of colour. This workshop will show you how to create lovely sketches with pen and watercolours – it’s a wonderful way to document and create memories. You will cover some sketching techniques, using a pen to sketch and how to add water colour paints to complete your sketch.

Mixed media decorations

May your days be merry and bright with these lovely mixed media decorations. Perfect for the christmas tree or as a beautiful gift to a loved one. Using a mix of materials these decorations are both beautiful and fun to make. They’ll look lovely hanging on your Christmas tree or give them as a gift to friends and family.

Paper cutting – greeting cards

This workshop is a perfect chance to try a new skill while making greetings cards. There will be several designs to choose from, one which you will complete in the class and you will take the other two home to practise the skills you learn.

This event is organised by StraightCurves.
