It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… and Search Press is hosting a free virtual art and craft festival to get everyone into the Christmas mood! The company is offering a whole host of amazing art and craft tutorials and projects to inspire crafters everywhere. Demonstrations include making a needle-felted adorable Christmas robin, the perfect crocheted stocking, a beautiful painted snow scene and a quilted festive table runner.
Viewers will enjoy more than 20 free live and video tutorials; informative and insightful blogs; signed copy competitions; extra special offers on our books; interviews with inspirational Search Press authors such as Debbie Shore, David Bellamy, Isabella Strambio – and lots, lots more!
It's all happening on Friday 20th through to Sunday 22nd November on the Search Press Art and Craft Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/SearchPress).
Below is a little taster of the schedule so far, but crafters should keep checking the Facebook page for more details, as it's evolving all the time.
