About this event

8 December 2024 – 8 December 2024
Cliffe Castle Museum

Join us for a clay Christmas Bauble making workshop with artist Jessica Swift. We will be using different tools and natural items found in the gardens of Cliffe Castle to create our baubles. We will be using air dry clay, that once dried, can be painted at home.

This will be a drop in activity.

Donations are welcomed to help cover costs, on a Pay As You Feel basis, so that anyone can take part regardless of funds.
