Pop in to The Morrab Library on Friday 6th December for a festive decoration making workshop with artist Rebecca Harvey.

Rebecca is one half of our current Artists in Residence duo and has recently installed a beautiful floral display over one of the windows in our Reading Room to celebrate the festive season. Nestled within the display you may have spotted some lovely ceramic Christmas ornaments, made by Rebecca, and this workshop will be a chance to adorn your own tree decoration.

The workshop will take place in the Art Room, between 1pm-3pm, and is drop-in. Members and non-members alike of all ages are welcome.

Suggested donation £5, includes materials.

The Morrab Library is more than books.
Whilst it is an archive of treasures revealing the past, it also embraces the contemporary and speaks to the future.
Poet Lucy Sparrow and ceramicist Rebecca Harvey (@rebeccaharveyceramics ) spent time exploring and responding to the wonders of this special place over the course of a year.
You’re warmly invited to an illustrated talk and conversation discussing their time spent as Artists in Residence, as well as a reading of Lucy’s poems.
Email the library on enquiries@morrablibrary.org.uk if you would like to be added to the ballot for a ticket.
