Time: All Day
Parchment Craft Course
Time: Full Day Course
Parchment craft is the ancient art of embossing, perforating and cutting with special tools, on parchment paper, to create lacy designs. It developed
on the continent, mainly in Holland, Germany and Belgium and became popular in the U.K. a few years ago. It was mainly done in Monasteries and
Convents.
The craft is also very popular in Brazil and other Latin American countries, having been taken there by missionaries. As a consequence styles and
tools vary in different parts of the world, although the basics remain the same.
The Course costs £25 per person.

Spectacularly set in the beautiful Tywi valley of Carmarthenshire, Aberglasney House features one of the finest gardens in Wales. Aberglasney Gardens
have been an inspiration to poets since 1477. The story of Aberglasney spans many centuries, but, the house's origins are still shrouded in
obscurity.
