Festive creative workshop at Blackwell
Join textile artist Louise from Darcy Badger Designs, for a mindful, hands-on creative workshop where you’ll craft your very own giant Christmas pudding-inspired cushion. Using chunky yarn, Louise will guide you step by step through the process, making it perfect for all abilities – whether you’re a seasoned maker or an absolute beginner.
This festive experience includes:
The chance to create a one-of-a-kind giant Christmas pudding cushion to take home.
A relaxing morning in the atmospheric Guild Room, designed by architect Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott.
Refreshments and festive traybake from our Tea room.
Your ticket also includes full-day access to explore Blackwell house and gardens, beautifully decorated for the Christmas season.
