Hi, we're Caroline & Christine
We’re sisters who love a good craft and a good chat. We started Creative Escape because we wanted to make a space where you can switch off, make something beautiful, and meet some lovely people — whether you call yourself a crafter or not.
You’ll leave with a finished piece you’re proud of, written instructions to take home, and probably a few new friends.

Stitch a Spring Floral Tote
A relaxed, hands-on workshop stitching your way to a beautiful, wearable tote bag. Taking it step-by-step we'll work through a variety of stitches, each creating a different springtime flower.
Choose from our colourful selection of threads to personalise your bag, learn new skills, and head home with a handmade tote you can show off to your friends!
Macramé Coaster Workshop
Learn the art of macramé to create your very own coaster in this beginner friendly class. We'll work through the knots together, step by step, with a selection of colours to choose from. A creative session in good company and learning new skills. Take home a gorgeous handmade coasters to use at home.
Hand-Painted Candle Workshop
An fun, easy-going paint and sip evening with candles, drinks, and good conversation. Practice different brush techniques of botanical, fruit, or abstract designs and mix a beautiful colour palette.
Everyone goes home with two hand-painted candles and some new friends!
