A CHRISTMAS decorative arts fair will be held in Grange on November 30 when original hand-made work will be on sale.

The event - the last in the season - will be held between 10am and 4pm at the Grange Institute on Main Street.

Mini-workshops, held on a drop-in basis, will be held in printing and painting, beaded lacework kits, Christmas lanters and crochet and knitting kits.

The fair is run by Canvas and Thread, a collaboration of two artists who aim to 'open up the world of decorative arts to everyone'.

They hope the events will inspire young and old alike to pick up their tools of choice, be it a paintbrush, needle or hook.
