Calm & Craft

Slow down and create something lovely.

Welcome to our new series of calming craft classes, created by a yoga teacher and creative teacher.

Each class beings with a calming seated mindfulness practice, led by Caz from CJYoga, followed by a drink and introduction to the craft and gentle guidance, led by Caroline from Creative Escape.

We change the crafts every few months, in August and September we'll be painting candles.

The class is beginner friendly, very welcoming and the perfect way to unwind and make something different.

What past crafters have said

My daughter and I did this together and we both loved it! Such a lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon, Caroline was a lovely teacher.

Sara, Candle Painting

The instructions were so clear and Caz and Chrissy made it feel completely un-intimidating. Already booked my next one.

Hannah, Macrame Coaster

I haven't done anything crafty since school and I was nervous, but it was so relaxed. My flower stitching looks so beautiful and I proudly show it off to my friends!

Lucy, Spring Flower Embroidery
