Workshops
One-to-One Sessions
One-to-one sessions are a perfect way to indulge in some 'me time' or to try something new.
​
An ideal treat just because, or to celebrate a birthday, Mother's Day, Valentine's day or anniversary.
​
These personal sessions are also best for people with disabilities or dementia, as I can give the participant all of my attention and tailor the session exactly to their needs.
I offer one-off sessions, regular and block bookings. Weekly, fortnightly or monthly sessions are possible, so please get in touch if you are interested.
​​
Group Workshops
Group workshops are a fantastic way to get family, friends and colleagues together.
Ideal for organisations such as the WI, well-being centres, workplace team-building exercises, after-school clubs, care homes and hospices.
​​
Prices vary depending on the project, number of participants, location and workshop duration.
Discounts are available on regular and block bookings, including weekly, fortnightly or monthly.​

My Workshops
Pressed Flower Arrangement
(My most popular workshop)
From ferns to flowers, I have collected, dried and pressed many leaves and flowers to work with.
Or perhaps you have some sentimental flowers you've pressed but need help arranging...
Whatever you choose to create, you'll finish with a piece of unique artwork to keep or a lovely gift for someone special. We can also create gift tags and wrapping if your creation is going to be for a loved one.
​
Workshops available from 1 hour+ depending on location and project
Candle Making
I make and sell soy candles and beeswax melts, which you can find in my shop, so I thought I'd offer the wonderful craft of candle making as a workshop.
​
I particularly enjoy using vintage teacups for my candles, whilst metal tins and glass jars make attractive candles too - plus, you can use the container after your candle's finished.
Prior to the workshop, we can discuss the range of teacups and containers I have, what scents you would like and if you want any flower petals to decorate your candles. We can also create gift tags and wrapping if your candle is going to be for a loved one.
​
Please note:
• This workshop is best suited to one-to-one or a small group of 4 due to needing a hob to melt the wax. I can provide one extra portable electric double hob; this way two people can use the host's kitchen hob and two can use my portable one.
• Not suitable for young children (unless aided by a responsible adult) or individuals with challenging behaviour due to the risk of burning and scalding.
• Let me know if you are pregnant so we can use pregnancy-safe essential oils and amounts.
• I avoid chemical fragrances and only use natural soy wax or beeswax and essential oils in my candles.
​
Workshops available from 1 hour+ depending on location and project
Glass Painting
Painted glass items make wonderful gifts and statement pieces. Choose from my range of wine glasses, vases, jars, mirrors and more. Alternatively, you can decorate your own items or I can source something specific. We can also create gift tags and wrapping if your creation is going to be for a loved one.
​
Workshops available from 1 hour+ depending on location and project
Collage and Mixed Media
Collage and mixed media can be as simple or complicated as you want it to be.
From simply layering magazine cuttings with decorative papers to create a themed collage, to using whatever themed materials you can find to decorate a box or table... mixed media projects have no limits!
​
I absolutely love collage and mixed media so will help you create something unique. We can also create gift tags and wrapping if your creation is going to be for a loved one.
​
Workshops available from 1 hour+ depending on location and project
Fabric Dyeing, Stencilling and Stamping
Fancy learning how to tie-dye? Perhaps you want to create a stencil and print your design onto a t-shirt, tote bag or cushion cover? Or maybe you want to experiment with natural leaves or my collection of rubber stamps to create a unique pattern on clothing or bedding? Well, you're in luck! I used to co-run an independent clothing company, where I dyed, designed and printed the garments. Allow me to show you a range of techniques you can use for years to come.
​
Stamping: 1 hour+ depending on item and number of colours used
Dyeing: 1 hour+ depending on item and number of colours used
Stencilling and printing: 2 hours+ depending on complexity or number of designs
Dyeing, stencilling and printing: 1 hour+ workshop followed by 2 hour+ workshop
​
Combine these workshops with a sewing project to make your own custom item.
See Sewing Projects below.
​
If you want to book any of these workshops for a group workshop, event or party, please consider where your items will hang or dry.
Sewing Projects
(Only available as one-to-one sessions)
New to sewing? If you're a beginner, I can teach you how to make a cushion cover or beautiful bunting, which make great first projects.
For more complicated projects, we can enhance the basic creations by adding appliqué motifs, or make a tote bag, drawstring bag, sketchbook or tablet cover, a custom-shaped cushion together (like the dog cushion pictured below) or anything you fancy. We can also create gift tags and wrapping if your creation is going to be for a loved one.
​
Combine this project with Fabric Dyeing, Stencilling and Stamping if you'd like to dye your material or embellish your creation with a design. See Fabric Dyeing, Stencilling and Stamping above.
​
Workshops available from 2 hours+ depending on the project
