Come to the craftiest place in Leeds for our brand-new pottery painting sessions. Paint your choice of mug, plate, bowl, or tile with a design of your choosing using underglazes while you sit and chat with friends and family! 

This two hour workshop includes:

An introduction to terrariums

Briefing on choice of materials, terrarium dynamics and aftercare

Demonstration and hands on making

Take home your creation

These courses will be conducted by Amarah, a surgeon by profession, who has temporarily taken a step back from the operating room, to spend more time with family and explore her creative side as a terrarium artist.  At present she designs these gorgeous ecosystems and runs a small business by the name of Sow Deep Biospheres.

Ideal for anyone new to candle making.  You can enjoy learning how to make your own soy wax candles and tealights.  Working at a relaxed pace and choosing from various aromas you will make two x tin container candles and a set of six tealights.  These are yours to keep (once they’ve cured).

Workshops are kept small to allow for individual attention, all materials, equipment and tuition are included in the price.

On the day all you need to do is turn up and enjoy.

This fun FREE arts based project is for adults who have additional learning support needs and live in the Leeds area. You will explore different creative techniques with tutor Clair Thompson and there will be an exhibition and celebration event in September.

All of the art sessions are free and all materials are provided. The sessions will have additional support from our LSA and volunteers. 

There are two sessions to choose from (an morning session, or an afternoon session).

Open to anyone aged 11- 18, Leeds Library and Cloth Cat invite you to a Songwriting taster session led by tutor Sean Howe. 

In this one-off session, we will explore choosing a theme, writing lyrics and structuring a song. Whilst Sean specialises in alternative music, all styles of music will be catered for at the workshop, no matter what genre you're into.
