Creative evenings in a canal-side studio. Small groups, a big table, good company, and something to take home. No experience needed, just turn up and make something.
Each evening has a theme: sometimes a material, sometimes an idea, sometimes just a mood. You might spend the night making jewellery, working with watercolour, building a collage, or trying acrylics for the first time. Some evenings are more structured, some are completely open. You'll find out when you book.
There are up to eight people per session, so it stays social rather than feeling like a class. You don't need to be good at anything. Just an openness to try something new.
Each Creative Social Club evening has its own material or theme. Check the booking page to see what’s on.
Maximum eight people per session. Enough for conversation, not so many it gets overwhelming.
Whatever you make, it’s yours.
The only requirement is a willingness to have a go.
Every session is different. Here’s a taste of what’s on the horizon.
