More inspiring arty creations from Alison – Join her Zoom session to make Celebrate Book Flowers!

Alison says “The festival theme this year is connection and during the last year in particular, many people have turned to art and craft to keep themselves busy. This flower is a reflection of that and also on how nature was a solace to us during this time.”  Hopefully it will inspire you to look around your home and see the possibilities to create something imaginative from left-over things that you find”

NEWS: Join artist Mandy Cleveland today (08/06) for a fabulous zoom session at 6pm where she will teach you how to make giant paper plate flowers.

Don’t worry if you don’t have any paper plates, you can use any paper as long as it’s cut into circles. All you need is a pair of scissors, some glue if you have one. If you have any paint or pens, bring that too.

The session will be recorded and uploaded on the Celebrate YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/CelebrateFestivalWR so you can always go back and have another go.
