Artists are helping youngsters brighten up their homes with Christmas decorations made from recycled materials.

Groovy Su, left, and Emily Cooling, right, who made the Christmas Light Night lanterns for the parade on Friday, December 2, are hosting workshops at Oxford Castle this week.

Groovy Su said: “Our giant lanterns for the Christmas Light Night were made from willow and reclaimed fabric.

“We want to run these craft workshops to show children and parents what great Christmas decorations you can make from recycled materials.”

The workshops for under fives take place in the O3 Gallery from 9.30am to 11.30am every day until Friday.
