CHINA will be the theme of two workshops being held at the district museum this month.

Artist Valerie Osment proved so popular last year she has been invited back again and will be using silk fabrics to make Chinese lanterns and fans.

Visitors can take part in the workshop between 11am and 4pm on May 23 at the museum on Sun Street, Waltham Abbey.

During the half-term holiday, children can make mini Chinese dancing dragon puppets between 12pm and 4pm on May 26 and 30.

All events are free and there is no need to book beforehand.
