Gift wrapping course, Lincolnshire

Jane Means has been a gift wrapping expert for over 10 years and is always in demand with top stores. She runs the training courses personally so you get tips first hand from the gift wrapping guru herself. On this action packed gift wrapping course you will learn how to wrap every gift perfectly, whatever the shape, occasion or budget. This is a hands-on workshop where you will wrap a variety of shapes, use a range of materials and cover the wrapping basics: tackling bottles, circular items, awkward shapes, Japanese pleating, ribbon tying and bows. It is an ideal course if you wish to improve your presentation skills or offer a retail service. You take home most of your wrapped creations so remember to bring a large carrier bag in addition to any awkward shaped gifts you wish to tackle!

All levels are welcome on this informal course. A light lunch, materials and handouts will be provided.

Course location:

The course will be held at Rumfield House, an elegant and airy Victorian house on the outskirts of historic Lincoln. Ideal for those using public transport, the house is less than a mile from Lincoln City Centre and its rail station. The course is designed for small groups, maximum 10 students due to limited car parking, and is a popular choice for those who want to 'get away' and make it a short break.

The class starts at 10:00am and finishes at 3:30pm
