Festive workshops: Why don't you (Re) Design Xmas?

Festive workshops: Why don't you (Re) Design Xmas?

17 December 2011 at Fabrications in Hackney.

Rebecca Alderman (aka GirlwithBeads) and Barley Massey have got together to share some upcycled festive decoration ideas which feature in the book 'Why don't you (Re) Design Christmas? by Re Design.

"This book is very much in the 'Flat Broke' tradition,. But now the motivations are environmental as well as a wish to save money and make something personal. And the involvement of practising designers adds that touch of professional panache" (Barbara Chandler, Evening Standard)

Bring along your old plastic bags (think festive) and transform them into a Christmas wreath with Rebecca and pom pom snowball and chain decorations with Barley. To create a party atmosphere both the workshops will run at the same time and participants will swap tables at half time! We think this activity is suitable for adults and children from 8 years old (if accompanied by an adult)

There are 2 time slots to choose from: 12 - 1.30pm or 2 - 3.30pm.

Price: £20. Includes use of tool, materials and refreshments. BOOKING REQUIRED

(Parent or guardian accompanying a child come free but seating around workshop tables will be prioritised to workshop participants but feel free to stand behind or relax in seating nearby!)

Book signing also available!!

To book or for further info please call: +44 (0) 207 2758043
