Our workshops take place at the Gorringe Park Pub in Tooting and The Railway Pub Streatham Common. Dates of forthcoming workshops are listed below, and further details of the workshops and venues are available on the dedicated pages for Tooting and Streatham.
Our three-hour workshops costs just £20 and include tuition, examples, inspiration and lots of materials to choose from. We go out of our way to make sure you have lots of choice so you can play and experiment with a range of materials that you may not have access to at home. We ensure our groups don’t get too big, and always have tons of space to spread out and enough tutors to provide one-to-one help as well as group demonstrations.
Meet your crafty neighbours at our informal and sociable workshops and come home with something handmade by you!
