Papercut Nativity bauble workshop for adults

Shohbna Patel is running a papercut workshop at the Dunlop Room, Lincoln Cathedral Visitors Centre on Saturday 28 November, from 10am to 12pm. The session is all about making a 3D Nativity bauble, and it's designed for beginners and craft enthusiasts rather than experienced papercutters. You'll leave with your own finished bauble to hang on your tree or give as a gift.

Patel runs Paper Academy, and she'll be leading the whole thing. The morning starts with the fundamentals of papercutting—the basic techniques and how to control cardstock—so you'll get a handle on the craft before you start on the bauble itself. Pre-cut templates are provided, which means you don't need any previous experience to get a good result. It's aimed at beginners, and it's suitable for anyone aged 16 and over.

All the materials and equipment you'll need are supplied on the day, so you don't have to bring your own tools. The only thing you're asked to bring is a waterproof bag to carry your finished bauble home in. It's a two-hour session, and you'll walk away with a 3D papercut Nativity bauble that you've made yourself. It runs from 10am to 12pm on Saturday 28 November at the Dunlop Room in the Lincoln Cathedral Visitors Centre, and it costs £36 per person.
