NEW for 2020 - Spring Workshops... Mother's Day Crafting
Pottery Painting
There's nothing more enjoyable than receiving a handmade gift from your child.
We are running child only craft sessions for your child to create something magical ready for Mother's day. They will first choose a ceramic pot to paint with acrylic paints, next they will make some beautiful tissue paper flowers with a special clay surprise bloom! Finally, a handmade card, hand decorated gift bag and tag will complement their gift for their special grown up on Mother's day.
Block Printing
Using contemporary wooden printing blocks, you can choose to print either an apron or two tea towels to print. Once you have printed your fabric item, you will then print a card, gift tag and gift bag to complement your finished gift.
Our child only craft sessions are run by experienced tutors who currently teach in local primary schools. All our tutors hold an enhanced DBS, first aid certificate and have up to date safeguarding training. We keep our sessions small to ensure all children get lots of help and support. We always have at least 2 tutors in attendance.

Easter Workshops...
Easter Bunting Making
NEW for 2020
Let's decorate for an Easter celebration!
Nothing looks more beautiful than handmade bunting made by your own hands!
Come and make a string of hessian bunting.
THIS IS A NO SEW CRAFT!!
First cut out your hessian triangle shapes, then choose your fabric and felt from a large selection. We have templates for you to use to create your Easter design or you can make your own.
Next cut out your shapes, add details, then finally using special webbing, iron your design onto the triangles to fix them into place. The last thing is to string them all together. Enjoy!
Easter Tree
NEW for 2020
Handmade Easter trees have become more popular as each year turns.
So...come and make yours with us in our studio.
Choose a hand sprayed tin, (several colours available). Decorate your tin with ribbons and other Easter embellishments, before securing the oasis and displaying your hand sprayed natural twigs.
Next, spend a few 'mindfulness' hours making sequined hanging Easter eggs and felt decorations to display on your tree.
Your tree would look stunning displayed in an entrance hall or as a feature in your most loved room at home.
