Workshops
Our workshops are gentle, hands-on sessions designed to reconnect you with seasonal materials and traditional craft. We work with locally foraged foliage, seed heads, twigs, grasses and natural fibres.
Each session focuses on skill, sustainability and quiet creativity. No previous experience is needed — just curiosity and a willingness to slow down.

Fancy a whole day of autumn making? Join us for Autumn Wreath Making from 10:30am–1pm, followed by Autumn Treasures from 2–4pm.
Between workshops, we’ll have a relaxed hour for lunch. Bring a packed lunch and make use of the studio kitchen, wander over to the nearby Mill Yard Café, or simply stay at the table and carry on making if you’re not quite ready to put your wreath down.
Book a full day ticket for £45, saving £5, with all materials and tools included, plus plenty of tea, coffee and cake throughout the day.

🌿Private Making Sessions
Would you prefer to make at your own pace, or spend some creative time with someone special?
Many of our seasonal workshops can also be arranged as a private session for one or two people, giving you the studio to yourselves and plenty of individual guidance.
Choose from our current seasonal makes, or get in touch to chat about what you’d like to create. All materials are provided, along with tea, coffee and, of course, cake.
Private sessions are available on selected weekday mornings and afternoons.
