Take a Stylish Stroll Back in Time!

Step into the gilded world of the Victorian aristocracy, where evenings of opulence and extravagance were the highlight of high society!

In this immersive workshop, you'll have the opportunity to craft your own tale of lavish Victorian glamour by designing a bespoke set of cards, envelopes, and gift tags that recreate the fashions of ritzy balls, grand soirees, and elegant operas enjoyed by the Victorian upper class.

With access to an array of antique materials from the era, such as delicate lace, intricate ribbons, vintage advertisements, postage stamps, and sewing patterns, you'll assemble your designs onto pre-dyed and distressed cards, evoking the charm and age of a bygone era.

Tie your completed cards onto a beautifully wrapped gift with ribbons and lace, and you'll be able to share a piece of this enchanting world of elegance and refinement with friends who appreciate such old-world charms as found in these cards and in the pages of a Jane Austen or Emily Bronte novel.

We provide all the materials so you can sit back, relax, and let your creativity soar.

In this hands-on workshop we will:

  • Learn the art of aging paper to add depth and character
  • Design cards using vintage elements
  • Apply embellishments like stitching, stamping, buttons & ribbbons to cards
  • Make a Wax Seal
  • Learn more about what life was like in this era

You will take home a set of Victorian Era styled greeting cards and enjoy listening to music from the era as you craft. Drift away back in time for the afternoon in lovely Docklands.

Organized by

Welcome friends to Pixie Paper Company! A place where you can explore your creativity and meet many like-minded friends. Pixie Paper Company is about helping people connect with their creativity in a warm, inviting space, where we can leave behind our computers, housework, stressful jobs and connect with ourselves and each other by absorbing ourselves in that magical zone that making art takes us to.

Pixie Paper Company is dedicated to the paper arts – papermaking, journal making, vintage collage, giftwrap, cards and stationery as well as providing classes that promote self - exploration and goal setting as found in our journal writing and vision board classes.

It is my dearest wish that we be those wonderful people who send handmade cards and letters and who write in our handcrafted journals, who make our own giftwrap and presents and inject our personality and love into all that we create! We offer an array of classes scheduled throughout the year on all of the above crafts.

Inspiring music and all supplies are always provided.

You will be taught by Cherie Ward (me), an extremely experienced paper crafter who has studied book restoration and paper making and has been practicing these crafts for 20 years. I am also a university qualified Trainer, Counsellor and Coach and I can't wait to share my passion for paper and all things stationery with YOU!
