Oh Comely's Paper Craft Workshops at Wilderness Festival

words Laura Maw

15th July 2015

This August, the Oh Comely team are taking a trip to Wilderness Festival, Oxfordshire, for something very exciting: we’re joining up with talented paper artist Lydia Shirreff to host paper craft workshops!

We think the Wilderness line-up is looking pretty incredible this year. It's the only place you'll see Björk in the UK this summer and there's music by Ben Howard, Roisin Murphy and many others. All that in addition to delicious food stalls; theatre performances of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland; talks on how to write a novel and workshops covering everything from willow weaving to jewellery making. Oh, and paper crafts by yours truly! Which takes us back to Lydia Shirreff, our expert paper crafter and workshop leader. 

Lydia Shirreff makes paper sculptures for set designs and editorials, having made beautiful paper designs for Vogue, Lush and many others. For our Wilderness workshop, she'll take you through the steps of making a festival headdress or some gorgeous bunting. You can work from her set designs or fashion your own.

Oh Comely's paper workshops are running on the following days: 
Saturday 8th, August: 1:30pm - 2:30pm and 3pm - 4pm
Sunday 9th, August: 1:30pm - 2:30pm

Come say hello and get creative with us! Tickets are £12 and available here.
