A Little Time to Slow Down and Create

This workshop isn't about making the "perfect" flower.

It's about enjoying the process of creating – choosing colours, working with your hands and watching something beautiful gradually take shape.

Crafting can give us a welcome opportunity to switch off from everyday distractions and focus on the simple pleasure of making. The workshop is relaxed, friendly and designed to give you the confidence to experiment, even if you don't consider yourself particularly creative.

Come on your own or bring a friend – you'll always receive a warm welcome.
