Workshop: Pocket Talismans – Little Things That Make You Happy
In this hands-on creative session in Gilstead, you’ll make your very own tiny “things that make you happy” using plasticine or modelling clay — perhaps a little sun, a bird, or anything that brings you joy. Each creation will be carefully tucked inside a decorated matchbox, transforming it into a personal “pocket talisman” or token to take home.
Your matchbox can be painted, collaged, or drawn on. Your miniature masterpiece stays safely inside its box, ready to brighten your day whenever you open it.
