Make Something With Your Own Two Hands.

Pottery, woodwork and textiles workshops in Alderton. Eight benches, all the tools, tea in the break. Beginners genuinely welcome.

Three Crafts, One Room.

Clay

Wheel throwing and hand building with Erin. Your pots are glazed, fired and ready to collect about three weeks later.

Carving a spoon from green wood with a knife

Wood

Spoon carving and small joinery with Joss. Sharp tools, proper technique, something useful in your bag by home time.

Textiles

Indigo dyeing and visible mending with Mim. Old jumpers leave better than they arrived.
