Join Daunton Marbling Studio for this festive Christmas cracker workshop. Nichola Daunton will guide you through the process of producing traditional marbled papers and turning them into elegant Christmas crackers, complete with hat, joke and gift.

During the workshop you’ll learn how to build your own Christmas cracker, before getting hands-on at a marbling tray and producing six beautiful marbled papers using traditional tools and techniques. Your marbled papers will need to dry overnight, but can be picked up the following weekend (14th and 15th December) from Workshop Number 29.

You will leave the workshop with a cracker pack, which will contain all the materials you need to turn your marbled papers into stylish Christmas crackers at home.

No previous marbling experience needed.

Please wear clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty, as paint can sometimes spatter during the marbling process.

Address: Workshop Number 29, 99 Sandgate High Street, Sandgate CT20 3BY
