About Flourish
Our Passion
At Flourish, we're passionate about all things crafting! We believe that crafting is not just a hobby, it's a way of life. We're here to help you unleash your creativity, learn new skills and make beautiful things for your home and to gift.
In an age where so much of our lives revolves around technology, the aspect of working physically with our hands and using our imagination is often missing. Crafting enables us to develop hand/eye coordination and explore traditional methods of making. Working with patterns and choosing shapes and colours we're stimulating our ability to think visually and project ideas into practical objects. All the while improving dexterity in a calm, stress free environment.
The majority of our materials are organic and ethically sourced and plastic free.
Workshops suit all ages* and abilities so it's a great way to unite several family generations together.
All workshops are available as group bookings only. 3-6 places per session. *Children aged 5 and above are welcome accompanied with an adult.

Our Expertise
Whether you're a seasoned crafter or just starting out, we're here to offer advice and guidance every step of the way. We provide all the materials you need to design, make and finish your creations during the workshop so that you leave us with unique, handmade things and new skills and ideas to inspire and continue crafts beyond the classes.
Perhaps we will inspire you to take up a new hobby? Or simply enjoy a relaxing, social day with the added bonus of making items to take away. Either way we're confident you'll find it a therapeutic experience in an informal setting.
We always find that those who declare themselves 'not very creative' are delighted with the results they achieve in the workshops. Some of the items intended as gifts often become hard to part with and those on the receiving end are impressed with the handmade results. A sweet ceramic coil pot for windowsill herbs; a hand printed tea towel or a personalised apron - everything made is unique and special.
Craft workshops that can also be booked
As well as the above, we can run other workshops including handbuilt ceramics, making cyanotypes and papercrafting. Please contact for details/prices.
We also run the occasional seasonal workshops so please look out for details - visit us here now and again and we'll share any plans for upcoming projects.
