A Crafty Edwardian Christmas: Book Talk & Workshop with Clare Hooper
Step back in time and discover the handmade magic of an Edwardian Christmas with author Clare Hooper.
Join author Clare Hooper for a festive event celebrating the joy of handmade Christmas crafts. Discover Clare’s new book before stepping back in time to explore how today’s DIY decorations link to Edwardian Christmas traditions. Imagine how Bramley might have celebrated the festive season when the Baths first opened in 1904.
Then, get creative in a hands-on workshop making your own paper stars to take home and add a little handmade Edwardian charm to your Christmas decorations! We’ll also be joined by a bookseller, so you can pick up your own copy of Clare’s book and take home plenty of festive inspiration.
