Through the year
What each season is actually good for
Not a calendar. These are the projects that suit the time of year, and any of them can be a private session whenever you want it.
autumn
Pumpkin and harvest pieces, warm palettes, and the mosaics and stencilled trays that come back out every autumn.
winter
Festive decorations, gifts made by hand, and candles and body butter for the months where both get used.
spring
Lighter colours, floral and botanical shapes, and the shower and celebration bookings that cluster here.
summer
Group bookings, outdoor-friendly activities, and the sessions that travel to a cottage or a back garden.

Made seasonal
Any of these, dressed for the time of year
The activity is the same. The colours, the shapes and the scent are the part that changes.
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.
Before you ask
Seasonal questions
Every answer is in the page whether the row is open or not, so a search engine can read it.
Do you run pumpkin painting?
Autumn projects are the busiest part of the year here, and pumpkin and harvest pieces are the ones most often asked for. They run as public dates when there are dates, and as a private session any week in September and October.
Can we book a festive workshop for our team?
Yes, and December books up first, so earlier is better than it sounds. A team session runs at your office or at a room arranged for you, anywhere in the Halifax region, and everybody leaves with the thing they made.
Is a seasonal workshop different from a normal one?
Same table, same two hours, same teaching from the beginning. What changes is the piece: the shape it is made on, the colours on the table and, for candles and body butter, the scent.
How far ahead should we book?
For autumn, a few weeks. For December, longer: materials are bought for the group and the good dates go first. Send the week you are thinking of even if the day is not fixed.
Can we choose the theme?
For a private group, yes. Say the occasion and roughly the look you want and the materials are chosen for it before anybody arrives.
Do you do these for kids?
For a private group, with an adult at the table and the age said when you book so the activity and the materials suit it. The public dates are written for adults.
