Festive Papercutting with Lucy

Lucy was back for another Festive Papercutting workshop today, helping create beautiful lanterns, cards and gift tags.

Using very sharp blades against a soft craft mat it required lots of concentration!

The tree lanterns are lovely with small birds and rabbits amongst the tree trunks.

When fingers needed a rest from using the knives, Lucy taught everyone how to make little origami stars.

Thanks to everyone for coming.

Classes Galore!

We've been so busy with classes recently, mix that in with a new phone (learning how to transfer photos over to the computer!) and a family wedding, I'm afraid I've got slightly behind on blogging our classes.

Claire and I had ran a Sunday Watercolour class for the first time and our theme was St Ives Harbour, the pictures were amazing, it was a long day, Claire included so many techniques!

Lucy returned to run a Personalised Papercutting Class, this was great as everyone had sent Lucy the names and celebrations they wanted on their cards and Lucy prepared the templates before the class.

We had a delicious lunch of Spring Risotto with wild garlic, and slow roasted tomatoes with toasted seeds.
