Looking for a way to be creative in a collaborative space?
Join us at our January Workshops!
These exciting sessions are designed to spark your imagination and bring joy in creativity. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned maker, you'll find something inspiring in our hands-on workshops.
What’s on offer?
This workshop features three talented artists, offering a choice of creative activities. You’ll get to pick one to immerse yourself in:
A Playful Introduction to Screen Printing with Laurie Hastings. Participants will create their own screen prints on paper, trying out the simple and playful techniques of colour layering, monoprinting and more! At the end of the session participants will leave with a good understanding of the screen printing process, and a set of experimental prints created with their own fair hands.
Harsha from India Inspired Crafts will introduce you to the art of Kantha Stitching. Engage in a mindful and relaxing activity where you will learn the traditional art of slow stitching and decorating your own small sari fabric bag.
Acorn Talisman Workshop with Kat from Feathers x Knots. Create a handmade Acorn Talisman necklace - a symbol of growth, potential, and new beginnings. Using natural materials, you’ll fill your acorn pendant with carefully chosen herbs or flowers, a crystal, and a tiny handwritten scroll holding your personal intention for 2026. This is a slow, mindful making process that blends creativity, ritual, and reflection, resulting in a wearable talisman to carry your intention with you into the year ahead.”
Each session is designed to give you the time, space, and tools to learn new skills or refine existing ones while connecting with others in a warm, welcoming environment.
