A long table laid for a workshop before the group arrives

About

Somebody has to set the table.

Artful Creative Table is Inas Felfel. She runs hands-on creative workshops in Halifax and Bedford: kintsugi, decoupage, mosaic, candle making and resin, for twelve people at a time.

Every one is set up before anybody arrives. The table is laid, the materials are portioned, the room is ready. You sit down, you make something, and it goes home with you.

How it is run

Four things that do not change

None of this is a manifesto. It is what makes a two-hour workshop worth the afternoon rather than a class you sat through.

  • The room is set before you arrive

    The table is laid, the materials are portioned, the tools are at each place. Nobody spends the first twenty minutes finding things.

  • Twelve, not forty

    A room that size means she can actually get to everybody, and it means the person beside you is somebody you end up talking to.

  • No experience is assumed

    Every activity is taught from the beginning. Most people arrive having never done it, which is the normal way to arrive.

  • You leave with the thing you made

    Not a photograph of it. The exception is resin, which cures after the session, and that is said before you book rather than after.

The short version

The things people ask before they ask anything else.
