Learn, Explore, Create, Fun
Workshops...
Our workshops have been created to accommodate all ages and genders. We can accommodate a maximum of 12 crafters in our studio. However, depending on the craft taking place, this number may be lower, especially when block printing. We usually craft together around a central table. However, again depending on the craft taking place, individual tables or a shared table may be the layout.
Our beautiful studio has an array of tools and resources, and we teach a variety of craft skills and techniques. Lots of fun is 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 family sessions.
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 which enhances our current risk assessment. We are pleased to announce that our business is Covid-19 Secure and we look forward to welcoming you to our studio.
All our terms and conditions and policies are published on our website under the heading T & C's,
