It is designed for community groups, wellbeing programmes, and social settings where a relaxed and inclusive craft suits a wide range of abilities. The outcome, a small box filled with festive handmade pieces, makes it particularly suited to fundraising events or group projects where the finished sets can be gifted or sold to raise support.A spirit of playfulnessThe theme of playfulness is introduced at the start with a short guided meditation, encouraging participants to let go of daily concerns and welcome in a lighter, more joyful state of mind. A colouring-based journalling activity follows, where participants decorate festive shapes such as gonks, baubles, and candy canes while reflecting on simple sources of cheer in their lives. This playful beginning sets the tone for the practical work that follows.Simple materials, familiar actionsParticipants create a small collection of festive items using straightforward techniques. A gonk figure is made with a large bead nose, wool hair or beard, and a tall hat. Alongside this, simple macramé is used to form miniature ornaments such as a tree, a candy cane wrapped with rope, and a wreath around a curtain ring. The methods involve knotting, wrapping, and gluing, all kept accessible with step-by-step guidance. The activity encourages personal touches in colour, texture, and style, supporting both individual creativity and a sense of play.A festive box of cheerBy the end of the workshop, each participant will have gathered their creations into a small cardboard gift box. Inside will be a gonk and a handful of macramé ornaments, all handmade in a shared, playful spirit. Each box is unique, offering a tangible reminder of joy and lightness in the season. The boxed sets can be kept as personal keepsakes, given as thoughtful gifts, or offered as part of fundraising efforts, extending the playful cheer beyond the workshop itself. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/waterford/gonks-gifts-workshop-thurs-4-11-dec-garter-lane-waterford/100001670674274729 - **Event Categories**: workshops, health-wellness, charities, meditation, christmas - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 25, max: 25, currency: EUR ## Event venue details - **city**: Waterford - **state**: WD - **country**: Ireland - **location**: Gater lane - **lat**: 52.26194049999999 - **long**: -7.1142996 - **full address**: Gater lane, Garter Lane, Waterford, Ireland ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: GONKS + GIFTS workshop, Thurs 4 + 11 Dec, Garter Lane, Waterford - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/d7652598faed881fadc1685cbedc4f23512dd3a90c869218112f475a47155814-rimg-w1200-h630-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1762096436 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is GONKS + GIFTS workshop, Thurs 4 + 11 Dec, Garter Lane, Waterford being held? - **A:** GONKS + GIFTS workshop, Thurs 4 + 11 Dec, Garter Lane, Waterford takes place on Thu, 04 Dec, 2025 at 06:30 pm to Thu, 11 Dec, 2025 at 08:30 pm at Gater lane, Garter Lane, Waterford, Ireland. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for GONKS + GIFTS workshop, Thurs 4 + 11 Dec, Garter Lane, Waterford? - **A:** Tickets for GONKS + GIFTS workshop, Thurs 4 + 11 Dec, Garter Lane, Waterford are priced at EUR 25 per person.
