Creative workshops for teams, away days & private groups
Looking for something a little different for your next team day?
Our creative workshops are designed to be relaxed, sociable and genuinely enjoyable, with no previous artistic experience needed. Spend a couple of hours trying something new, getting creative and enjoying some time away from the usual work environment - and leave with something you've made yourself.
Lino Printing
Spend two hours exploring the traditional art of lino printing, from creating your design through to the finished print. You’ll learn how to transfer your design onto lino, carve your own printing block and use traditional inking and printing techniques to create a series of hand-pulled prints on beautiful professional printing paper. You’ll also take home your finished lino block, which can be used to print from time and time again.
Mono Printing
Take some time to slow down and explore the simple pleasure of monoprinting in this 1.5 hour workshop. Working from an image of your choice, you’ll create an acetate printing plate and use it to make a one-off trace print. There’s no pressure to be “good at art” - just the enjoyment of following an image, experimenting with the process and, finally, pulling your print to reveal the finished piece.
Tote-ally Creative!
Create a tote bag that’s completely your own in this two-hour workshop. You’ll design and make a fabric stamp, learn how to ink and print with it, and experiment with your design before creating your finished tote bag. You’ll take home your printed bag along with your handmade stamp, which can be used again and again for future projects.

Impressionist Painting
There’s no need to be a great artist to enjoy this 2 hour Impressionist painting workshop. You’ll be guided step by step through a relaxed landscape painting, exploring traditional Impressionist techniques such as broken colour and impasto. Rather than worrying about getting everything perfect, you’ll work with loose, expressive brushstrokes to capture colour, movement and a moment in time. It’s a wonderfully achievable and satisfying way to paint, whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or you’re someone who insists they “can’t paint”! You’ll leave with your very own Impressionist canvas.
A Gnome for Your Home
Explore the fun of working with clay in this hands-on ceramic gnome workshop.
Using the traditional pinch pot technique, you’ll learn how to shape and build your own gnome before adding the details that give it character and personality.
No previous experience is needed, making this a lovely opportunity to try something new, get creative and enjoy the satisfying process of working with clay.
Fun With Clay
An opportunity to switch off, get creative and see where the clay takes you. After learning a few simple handbuilding techniques, you’ll be free to make whatever you fancy - from something useful or decorative to something quirky and completely unexpected. There’s no set project to follow and no pressure to make it perfect, just the freedom to experiment, play with different ideas and enjoy making something with your hands. Using air-dry clay means there’s no kiln to worry about, so you can really let go and see what you come up with - then take your finished creation home with you.
Botanical Printmaking
Come and explore the world of botanical printmaking in this fun and relaxed 1.5 hour workshop.
Using real leaves, flowers and other natural forms, you’ll learn how to create beautiful botanical prints using simple printmaking techniques. You’ll have the chance to experiment with different plants, colours and compositions to create your own unique artwork to take home.
No previous experience is needed just come along, have a go and enjoy making something lovely.
Chine Collé
Learn how to create a beautiful layered print using lino and delicate Japanese papers.
You’ll carve a simple lino plate and then discover how to use the chine collé technique to print fine pieces of washi patterned paper directly into your design, creating a delicate, collage-like finish. It’s a lovely introduction to lino printing and chine collé, with plenty of room to experiment and create something truly unique to take home.
Collaborative Lino Printing
A playful twist on lino printing where everyone creates a piece of the finished picture. Half the group will carve a simple fruit bowl, while the other half will carve something to go inside it – perhaps apples and oranges, or something a little more unexpected like cats, fish or teddy bears! The plates are designed to fit together, so when printed one on top of the other, the contents appear to sit inside the bowl.
Once everyone has made their plate, you can mix and match them to create all sorts of wonderfully unexpected prints. A fun, sociable way to try lino printing, get everyone involved and see what you can create together.
