Private events, Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM)
A workshop for your own group
A private workshop is hosted for your people and nobody else. You choose what everyone makes, and the room is set up for the number coming.
It runs anywhere in the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM), at a room we arrange or at yours, and every material is on the table before anyone sits down.
Choose what you make
Five things a group can spend an afternoon on
The same workshops that run on the public calendar, hosted for one group instead of twelve strangers.
Kintsugi
Repair a broken piece in gold. Bring one, or work on one of hers.
Decoupage
Move a printed image onto timber, glass or furniture. She calls it creative transfer.
Mosaic
Cut, place and set a surface out of fragments.
Candle making
Wax, wick and vessel, poured by hand.
Mandala Art
A pattern built one dot at a time, out from the centre.
Stencil Art
Clean edges on a wooden tray, cut by the stencil rather than a steady hand.
Soap Making
Melt, colour, scent, pour. Set before you leave.
Body Butter
Whipped butters and oils, scented the way you want them.
What is on the table
Everything comes with her
The same as a public seat, because a private session is the same workshop. Nothing to buy beforehand and nothing to bring.
- Materials
- Everything for the activity, brought and laid out
- Teaching
- The activity taught from the beginning, no experience assumed
- What you keep
- The piece each person made
What it costs
You get the number, not a callback
Almost nobody in this market publishes what a group session costs. Here is what you get back, itemised, in one reply.
- Per personQuoted for the activity and the number coming
- Smallest groupConfirmed when you ask
- TravelQuoted with your price, on its own line
- To hold a dateConfirmed with your quote
No minimum spend hidden behind an enquiry, and the cost of a room, if one is being arranged for you, is listed separately rather than folded into the per-person price.
Get a priceBefore you ask
What groups want to know
Every answer is in the page whether the row is open or not, so a search engine can read it.
How many people can come?
The public workshops run at twelve, which is the size of the room she rents in Bedford. A private session is set up for the number coming, so tell us the headcount and the activity and you get back what is workable.
Do you come to us?
Yes, in the Halifax region. She brings the materials and sets up on your table. A room can also be arranged if you would rather not host, and the cost of that room is itemised separately rather than buried in the per-person price.
What does it cost?
It depends on the activity, the number of people and where the room is, and you get all three back itemised in one reply: the price per person, the smallest group that works, and the travel cost if we are coming to you. Nothing is held back for a phone call.
Does everyone need experience?
No. Every activity is taught from the beginning and every material is on the table before anyone sits down. Groups usually arrive with a range of confidence, and the two-hour shape is built for that.
How long does a session take?
The public workshops run two hours, which is enough to finish a piece in most of the activities. Kintsugi cures after the session, so that one is finished when you take it home rather than in the room.
How far ahead should we ask?
Sooner is better, because materials are bought for the group and a room may need booking. Send the date you are thinking of even if it is not fixed, and you will be told straight away whether it works.
