Description
Come and join us for our Christmas decoration making workshop. Alice and Ruth are both upcycling enthusiasts who love to create beautiful products from items which other people may consider to be ready for the tip. In this workshop they will share their expertise on painting and decorative techniques, along with product knowledge and basic power tool usage. In this session you will create your own festive decorations and ornaments and paint/decorate to your style. We can show you how to make wooden free standing decorative ornaments from reclaimed wood. You can cut your own wood lengths and shapes if you want to try out our tools, or use our pre cut wood if you prefer, to make and decorate your very own hand made items to take home with you. These are ideal sustainable decorations and can be used year after year. We are based at Leigh Spinners Mill, which is an interesting heritage building to visit. The Mill is home to lots of independent small businesses, including a cinema, preloved clothes shop, vintage tea room, craft ale bar, and even indoor archery. The cost of your ticket supports our community work through the Reet Good Wood Club and ReMade Wigan. Reet Good Wood offer a space for neurodivergent adults to get creative, support one another before, through and after diagnosis. ReMade Wigan is a different kind of space for women who've experienced difficult times and trauma, where we provide access to crafts and skills based learning opportunities in a women's only environment. ReMade Wigan is a registered charity, trading as ReMade Leigh and ReMade Women.
