If you are looking to try something new, want to improve your creative skills, or simply want to come and have some fun with others. Then our workshops are the perfect opportunity for you to do just that. All our workshops are led and all materials are supplied.
There is no minimum age (or maximum for that mater) but some may be more suited to adults because of complexity or the tools required. If however a younger creative would like to come all we ask is that a responsible adult accompanies them, at no extra charge, unless you would like to get creative at the same time.
All our workshops have limited spaces, so pre-registration is essential, simply email us, or use the events calendar to book your preferred slot. Don’t forget to tell us how many spaces you need too. Even if you are interested in our up-coming workshops it’s still worth registering your interest now so we can add you to our contact list as soon as the dates are released. Once dates are released they will all be added to our events calendar.
And if you have a group of friends, family or colleagues that would like to come for a specific workshop on a date of your choice let us know – we are always happy to accommodate special requests.
All workshop dates can be found and booked on our Events page through our Events Calendar.
