Gnome Duo Workshop

Event: Gnome Duo Workshop
Date: Saturday 16th Dec 2023
Time: 2-4pm
Cost: £25 to include materials & tuition to create two cute hung gnomes to take home. Hot drinks and a selection of scones can be purchased as optional extras on the day if you choose.
Minimum age: 13 years upwards

Format: Using both recycled materials as well as wool roving, yarn and embellishments, you will be shown how to make your own gnome or tomte duo to proudly hang (or gift if you can bear to part with them!) this festive season.

These are often referred to as ‘tomte’s’ in Norway and were considered to be the very first inhabitant of the farm and helped care for the farm animals and welfare of the land. The Tomte was an honest fellow. He has been depicted as a very small person with a long beard and dressed as a farmer. Whilst ours might not be farmers, we believe they are symbols of good luck and fortune! 

This is a beginner friendly, interactive, simple yet effective fun activity that will hopefully put you in the festive spirit.

Age: This is recommended for teens and adults. There is no alcohol at this workshop but we do have another event for over 18’s where you can have Prosecco whilst you craft. The link to that is here: https://thebarnwirral.co.uk/course/gnomes-prosecco/

We will also have a younger ‘Sock Gonk’ workshop for our younger crafters in the morning of 16th December so save the date if you fancy some festive crafting with your little one!

We also cater for private bookings such as works nights out so just get in touch with your preferred date/s and party numbers to enquiries@thebarnwirral.co.uk
