For kids and family events, we keep things simple — less about education, more about fun! From painting and printing to drawing, clay, textiles, and more, our sessions are playful, hands-on, and can even be tailored to a colour scheme or theme of your choice.
For adult groups, we offer almost anything from our main programme of activities, making it easy to plan a creative experience that’s relaxed, inspiring, and memorable.

We are a community of 20 artists, each with experience teaching adults in a wide range of specialisms, visit our workshop listings to see the variety.
For kids and family events, a smaller group of us who specialise in working with younger makers lead the way — ensuring sessions are engaging & age-appropriate.

Kids slots are 2 hours, we teach for 60-90 minutes of that time, allowing for food, drinks, photos and gift opening if you choose.
Adult classes can be similar or longer, it will be down to your choice of activity, budget and time slot.

Our kids’ workshops are recommended for ages 5–14. The studio space seats up to 12 children (or adults), with room for a few parents to stay aside. For busy sessions we may ask parents to ‘drop and go’, but with smaller groups there’s space for more adults to join in — making a family workshop a brilliant shared experience.
