Learn, Explore, Create, Fun
Workshops...
Our workshops have been created to accommodate all ages and genders. At present, we have cut our studio capacity from 12 to 6 crafters due to Covid-19 restrictions. We have three large tables and these are spaced out to adhere to the governments guidelines on social distancing. Our beautiful studio has an array of tools and resources, with each crafter having the use of their own sanitised items displayed on their own trolley. There are lots of new skills to be learnt, fun to be had and time and space to create your own unique product.
We run a mixture of unaccompanied child only classes, adult only classes and adult /child combination classes.
Why book with us?
Workshops are run by experienced tutors who currently teach in local primary schools. We all have skills and talents we would love to share with you. Our tutors hold an Enhanced DBS, are first aid aware and at least one tutor holds a first aid certificate.
Here at Poppyseeds home we celebrate differences and encourage everyone's own imagination and creativity. We give our crafters the tools, teach the skills and time to explore and create at their own pace.
We have completed a Covid-19 risk assessment and updated our policies to reflect the current governments guidelines. We are pleased to announce that our business is Covid-19 Secure and we look forward to welcoming you to our studio.
