Greater Halifax Area, Nova Scotia
Creative workshops across Greater Halifax.
Artful Creative Table runs hands-on art and craft workshops, private parties and team events across the Greater Halifax Area, from Halifax and Dartmouth to Bedford, Sackville and Fall River.
Kintsugi, mandala art, mosaic, decoupage, stencil art, candle making, soap and body butter. Twelve seats, and every material already on the table.
Three ways to book
A seat, or the whole table
The same workshop either way, wherever you are in the region.
A seat at a public workshop
Dated workshops run at a booked venue, named on each date. Up to twelve people, and every material is on the table.
A private session at your place
Your home, office, hall or community room, anywhere in the region. Everything arrives in trays and boxes and is set out before your group sits down.
A private session in a room we arrange
If you would rather not host, a room can be arranged, and its cost is shown on its own.

What runs here
Eight activities, one table
Any of them as a public date, or as a private session for your own group.
Creative art
Something made on the table and carried home, from a surface that was blank or broken when you sat down.
Handmade lifestyle
The things you would otherwise buy, poured and mixed by hand and taken home to use.
Seasonal and botanical
The same crafts, run to the time of year or to what is growing. Pick the theme and the activity follows.
Hosting at yours
Not much is needed from the room
For a private session at your place, this is the whole list.
A table
One everyone can sit at with room to work. Two tables pushed together is fine, and so is a boardroom table.
A sink nearby
Not in the room, just somewhere to rinse hands. Mosaic, soap and kintsugi all want it at the end.
Chairs for everyone
People are seated for most of the two hours, so borrowed folding chairs are worth sorting beforehand.
A way in
Everything arrives in trays and boxes. A door at ground level or a lift, and somewhere to park while unloading.

Where in Greater Halifax do you run workshops?
Across the region: Halifax, Dartmouth, Bedford, Cole Harbour, Lower Sackville, Hammonds Plains and Fall River. Public workshops run at a booked venue that is named on each date, and private sessions come to your home, office or hall.
Do you come to Dartmouth, Sackville or Fall River?
Yes. Private workshops travel across the Halifax region. Travel, if there is any, is quoted with your price and shown as its own line.
Is there a studio I can visit?
No. There is no shopfront: venues are booked for the afternoon they are needed, which is also why a private workshop can run at yours instead.
What do we need to host a workshop?
A table everyone can sit at, chairs, and a sink somewhere nearby. Offices, community halls and kitchen tables all work. Every material and tool is brought.
How far out will you go?
Anywhere in the Halifax region is ordinary. Further out, ask with where you are, and you will be told whether it works.
