Crafting Post-War Christmas Decorations

Join us for Crafting Post-War Christmas Decorations, a hands-on workshop celebrating Sunderland’s festive traditions. This session will explore the use of greenery like holly, ivy, and mistletoe in post-war Christmas decorations and reflect on their significance in Sunderland homes after World War II. You’ll get creative by crafting felt recreations of these nostalgic designs, such as wreaths, garlands, and mistletoe sprigs. All materials, including felt, tools, and embellishments, will be provided. Participants will have the opportunity to contribute one decoration to a shared exhibition while taking another home as a keepsake. Don’t miss this chance to learn, create, and celebrate Sunderland’s rich holiday heritage in a fun and festive setting!
