Learn how to make your own decorated treasure to take home or turn an old book into your own work of art
Damselfly Crafts will host workshops dedicated to up-cycling old books and to the traditional art of decoupage, decorating an object by gluing on coloured paper cut-outs, albeit with a modern twist as Decopatch. Learn how to make your own decorated treasure to take home or turn an old book into your own work of art by learning how to fold, cut and decorate its pages into fabulous pop-out sculptures.
Book your spaces on the day for Book Sculptures (£3) and Decopatch (£8)

They are both passionate about recycling any number of things from books to pieces of furniture. Their Decopatch have been featured on Kirstie Allsopp’s television craft programme. Yvonne is a keen photographer and loves creating mixed media canvasses while Anni loves paper and fabric crafting
