Workshop description:
Join us for a festive, hands-on session where children will create their very own charming carousel-style advent calendar—designed to bring daily festive anticipation into December. Each participant will paint five bags for their advent calendar using the age-old method of lino printing with fun, modern patterns. They will also receive 25 small advent bags that hang from a beautifully handmade fabric carousel (one for each day of December, including Christmas Day). Children can then fill their little bags with treats or tiny surprises to enjoy throughout the season. It’s a joyful, creative workshop that sends every child home with something truly magical and handmade. If you wish to include a special small gift or message in your child's advent calendar, please feel free to bring it along.
Materials included: Handmade carousel structure, 25 mini bags, lino paint, roller, glitter, ribbon, decorative trims.
Duration: approx. 2 hours.
