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.
