Recycled Tin Decorations
Rosie Johnson, sign writer, illustrator and artist
Give your refuse collectors a break! In this creative upcycling session, craft workshop tutor Rosie shows how to transform the tin and cans you were going to put out for recycling into beautiful hanging decorations for your home. You’ll need a comfortable space at a table to take part.
