A PLACE WORTH KNOWING
Colour, paper birds and a keepsake to take home
A colourful Kingsbridge craft studio where children and grown-ups decorate papier-mâché models together, with refreshments while you create.
Paper Bird Island turns a little time together into something you can take home. Choose a papier-mâché model or hanging bird card, then decorate it with paint, paper and colourful details in a studio filled with handmade creatures. Tea and coffee make it easy to settle in. Alice’s creative space is now on Mill Street in Kingsbridge, next to Harbour Bookshop; the former Salcombe premises are no longer open.
