★ 12DAYS fff x rach.e.lle SENTIMENTAL ART FRAME

create a sentimental art piece for someone you love - bring photos + trinkets and craft a personalised keepsake frame full of meaning.

slow down, get crafty, and make something that actually means something. in this workshop, you’ll create a personalised art frame with an accompanying collage to go into the frame using photos, trinkets, and sentimental objects - a handmade keepsake to gift to someone special (or keep for yourself, no judgment).

attendees are encouraged to bring meaningful bits: photos, dried flowers, shells, charms, tickets, photobooth strips, handwritten notes, jewellery pieces, a lipstick kiss on a tissue, or anything with a story behind it. we’ll provide photo frames, decorative materials, and plenty of creative direction to help you design a piece that feels personal and heartfelt.

you’ll learn how to arrange visual storytelling, and bring together a picture frame that captures a memory, a relationship, or a moment worth holding onto. you’ll leave with a completed sentimental art frame and photo collage - a unique, handmade gift filled with emotion and intention.

a cosy, reflective, crafty session perfect for anyone who loves making thoughtful presents, cherishing memories, or expressing care through creativity.
