With the iconic ‘Sky Full of Stars’ Christmas lights now twinkling on Oxford Street, the countdown to Christmas has officially begun and what better way to get into the festive spirit than with a workshop at John Lewis.
Christmas jumper workshop
Why buy a Christmas jumper when you can make one? Join renowned crafting brand Cricut™ for a very merry Christmas masterclass. Forget about buying a festive jumper, this year be the talk of the party with one personalised by you. During this craft workshop, you’ll design and embellish a jumper with the help of the Circut Cutting Machine™ and Cricut Heat Press™, using the brand’s collection of coloured and sparkly Cricut iron-on vinyl™. Your finished jumper will be machine washable.
Please note you need to bring your jumper to embellish. All other materials and tools will be provided. Knitted jumpers won’t work with the embellishments. This workshop is designed for adults and children aged 8+ with adult supervision. Tickets are £10 and include complimentary Cricut™ materials. At the end of the event, you can take your embellished jumper home with you. Book here.
