Adult craft workshop in which Arty Pants guide participants to turn toys and ornaments into playful, kitsch Christmas decorations.
Arty Pants are running a kitsch Christmas decoration workshop at Fade to Black on Tuesday 8 December, from 19:00 to 21:00. It's a two-hour session for adults, and the whole point is to take old toys and ornaments and turn them into colourful, deliberately kitsch Christmas decorations. The focus is on playful designs and individual choices, so you're encouraged to lean into the more eccentric side of things rather than aiming for something polished.
Arty Pants are Mandy and Emma, a local craft workshop duo who run colourful adult sessions around St Albans. They've done festive wreaths and Japanese-inspired fabric baubles at various venues across the city, so this fits right in with the kind of things they usually put on. If you've got a box of old ornaments or a few forgotten toys that have seen better days, this is the kind of night where they actually come in handy.

The venue is Fade to Black, the wine bar and café at The Quadrant, known for its Sunday vinyl afternoons, acoustic live music and relaxed food-and-drink events. It's a familiar spot for a lot of us around town, and having the workshop there means you can grab a drink and settle in for the evening. The session runs from 19:00 to 21:00, and it costs £45.
