Choice of projects as a guide: Picture 6"x 6", wave or curve 7cm x 16.5cm and finally a wish stick. So, you could create: a) picture and a wish stick, b) two waves or curves (subject to size described) and a wish stick, c) three wish sticks. Alternatively, tealights can be made.

Further workshops could include coasters. If you would like to make more or even larger projects, discuss this with me and we can agree a price. You will need to bring an apron and a mask. If you have one, please also bring in a craft knife. Refreshments will be provided.
