Collage and Glow with Mel Brady

Warm up your winter with creativity at collage and glow! In this hands-on workshop, you'll create your own glowing light shade. 

Talented artist Mel Brady will guide you through the process using vintage-inspired materials like repurposed napkins, tissue paper and fabric. You’ll use simple techniques like drawing, collaging and hole-punching to build a one-of-a-kind tiny lampshade. The lampshade will light up with a provided battery-powered tea light candle. 

As you create, enjoy a calm and cosy space. Chat with others, share ideas and take in the joy of making something special. 

Whether you're a beginner or a craft enthusiast, collage and glow is a great way to add some sparkle to your winter.
