Learn about Sarah Cooper, whose 1874 marmalade recipe became a huge hit in Oxford and beyond. Use hessian from another thriving local business as the blank canvas on which you’ll stitch your own marmalade-inspired picture using yarn and pipe cleaners.

Sessions are led by local artist Kate Castleden.

There are 3 sessions throughout the day: 11.00-12.00, 13.00-14.00, 14.30-15.30.
