Ink painted folded paper fan decorations are a beautiful, minimalist, and eco-friendly Scandinavian aesthetic for your home.  Making them yourself is relaxing and pleasing experience, creating styles to hang in clusters over windows or on your tree.

This workshop is designed for interior design enthusiasts who love the clean, minimalist, Scandinavian (hygge) aesthetic.  Eco-conscious creative people who prefer sustainable, paper-based, low-waste seasonal decorations over plastic and those looking for a slow, and relaxing activity to destress.

Spend a day crafting timeless, sustainable heirlooms for your home whilst learning ink painting, master precision folding and walk away with a complete, ready-to-hang collection of seasonal fan clusters to decorate your windows, mantel, or Christmas tree.

Creating your own custom decorations -

Part 1 - Taking flat sheets of paper and painting them with coloured inks to create soft, "ink-and-wash" style winter landscapes, swirls, or geometric winter patterns.

Part 2 -Once dry the magic begins using an accordion-fold to manipulate the paper into stunning hanging decorations you’ll want to leave hanging past Christmas!

Target Audience: Beginner to Intermediate Crafters

All materials supplied.

Please bring an old shirt or apron to cover your clothes, we will get creative!
