Craft Course – Marquis Drive, Dungarvan, Waterford

Christmas Spirit came early this year in Marquis Drive, with residents involving themselves by taking nature on with gusto.  Collecting fresh foliage, flowers, holly, there was not a shrub untouched in Dungarvan with the hunt for natures best to make decorative handmade.

Christmas Floral Arrangements, wreaths and magnificent table centre pieces that would adorn any dining table.

Christmas Baking Classes, was packed with fun and good cheer, while Christmas cakes were iced and puddings set to boil. “Eat your heart out Jamie Oliver”.

Nothing beats experience of those with skills and they shared their knowledge with friends and neighbours showing true community spirit towards one another in the sharing of food prepared and cooked together and giving for this Festive Season.

Many thanks to the ETB who funded the tutors for these workshops.
