CREATIVE folk are invited to Bolton's Hobbycraft store to develop their artistic skills.

Visitors will be taught papercraft skills that enable them to hand-make birthday cards, gifts and scrapbooks.

Hobbycraft staff will deliver free 'Discover Heat Embossing' sessions on Friday, April 20.

Crafters of all abilities are invited to the store at Bolton Gate Retail Park where sessions will take place between 1pm and 2pm, and again between 2.30pm and 3.30pm.

Michael Yau, store manager, said: "Pop into store and discover more about papercraft at our free-to-attend sessions this spring.

"Papercraft is the perfect skill to make handmade birthday cards, gifts, and scrapbooks; and our expert in store colleagues are always on hand for help and advice on new projects, for crafters of all abilities."
