Suffolk puffs - what are they? I might hear you cry....

Well they are beautiful textured rosettes made from fabric that you can use to decorate anything and everything with. You can see them as part of our Kaleidoscope Quilt Exhibition at Minerva Arts Centre. Once made, they can be added to quilts, used to decorate headbands, attach them to a pencil case or a bag. The possibilities are endless.

This session will be lead by Artist and Maker Megan Elinor. Megan will guide children through through the process teaching the simple stitching technique. The Suffolk puffs will then be used to decorate a bag and create a unique headpiece to take home with you, or can be saved for use on the Applique banner making workshop if desired.

It's £7 per child aged 7-13 years and all materials are provided.
