Many of our day and evening courses can be tailored to create an enjoyable creative gathering, we're also happy to do special hen or wedding preparation parties. We can fit up to 12 people in here at The Making House or we can come to your venue and possibly cater for a few more.

We can do day or evening gatherings, although we do fit parties in around our other workshops and activities, so please allow some flexibility on your dates.

You're welcome to bring along food and drink and make an evening or afternoon of it.

Full Day Group Bookings

- Wire Poppies, 10 - 4. In the morning you'll learn to make the poppies and create a bunch of small wire poppies including poppy seed heads. In the afternoon you'll make a large poppy and a seed head; suitable for the garden, but looks just as good indoors! This is a lovely beginners wire workshop and with the skills you've learnt you'll be able to make more at home. This full day workshop costs £200 plus £10 per person for materials up to a maximum of 10 people.

- Wire Sunflowers, 10 - 4.30 In the morning you'll learn the techniques and create a small sunflower then go on to create a large sunflower for the garden in the afternoon. This is a good beginners wire workshop and with the skills you've learnt you'll be able to make more at home. This full day workshop costs £200 plus £15 per person for materials up to a maximum of 10 people

- Wire Alliums, 10 - 5. You will create a large wire allium for your garden or as a striking indoor decoration. (Combine different wires or create your allium using recycled cans) This is a fantastic wire workshop and with the skills you've learnt you'll be able to make more at home. It is, however, very repetitive and can be tough on the hands, so please bare this in mind if you have arthritis, carpal tunnel or similar condition. I can't stress enough, this is a really intensive session if you want to have a completed allium by the end of the day, but you can take it easy and do some finishing off at home. This full day workshop costs £200 plus £20 per person materials and preparations costs, up to a maximum of 8 people. (The allium uses a lot of materials and involves a lot of preparatory work on my behalf in order to make it an achievable project in a day, the price reflects this)

- Full day felt projects: We run a variety of full day needle felt and wet felt workshops, for example (avocets, magpies, woodpecker, hares, reindeers, polar bears, wet felt pictures and bowls), most can be run as a group booking. Prices will vary depending on the complexity of the project but as a guide a full day workshop would be £250 for up to 8 people, £15 per head thereafter up to a maximum of 12 people.
