Creative Church Exhibition Banner Workshop: Wednesday 10th September 7pm – 9pm
An amazing opportunity to be inspired and learn three different techniques for making Banners for your Church.
- The workshop is suitable for experienced banner makers and people completely new to banner making.
- Techniques can be easily adapted for simple and complex banners.
- Ideas of how to make a collaborative banner which your whole Church can contribute to.
Each of the three mini workshops lasts 20 minutes and will demonstrate the technique and involve a hands on practical element.
The workshop is free to attend. We would appreciate it if you could email us by Wednesday 20th August to let us know if you want to attend so we can ensure we have enough materials for everyone.
