A Right Royal Workshop!
Saturday April 9th 1pm-4pm, The Create Place, Bethnal Green.
To get us in the mood for Wills and Kate tying the knot we will be spending an afternoon making bunting themed for the royal wedding and having high tea. Each participant will make 6 metres of bunting, with a variety of styles and skills to choose from (full tutor support on hand!) Choose to craft your bunting in traditional timelss applique, building up a union jack in lace & ribbon or remnants of beautiful fabric... or go all out with the tacky wedding memorabilia! You will also be served a high tea of cucumber sandwiches, english cheddar, scones & cream, cupcakes and other quintessentially English treats, all washed down with a glass of elderflower bubbly. What more could you ask for in one afternoon...?
Cost £20 per person
