About usWelcome to the hive
Relaxed, friendly craft workshops and retreats where everyone feels welcome. Slow down. Create. Connect.
A little about BeehiveAfter more than ten years, my favourite part is still those lightbulb moments — when a new technique suddenly clicks and someone feels proud of what they’ve made.
My studio is my own little creative escape — filled with paints, pencils, fairy lights and all sorts of craft materials. With its cosy atmosphere and woodland outlook, it’s a special place to share my love of creativity with others.
My work in creative wellbeing has strengthened my belief that we all need time to step away from everyday pressures, reconnect with ourselves and do the things that bring us joy. That’s at the heart of everything I do, from studio workshops to creative retreats.
More than crafts

Hello, I’m Louise.
I’m a creative at heart — always discovering new crafts, experimenting with materials and dreaming up ideas for future workshops. I love turning a simple idea into something special, but for me creativity is about so much more than what we make. It’s about how we feel along the way.
When I’m not planning workshops or preparing for my next retreat, you’ll find me walking my dog, Hugo, through the woodland, watching the seasons change and collecting colourful eggs from my hens. I’m a Yorkshire girl at heart, so a proper brew is never far away — I truly believe life’s best moments are made better with a cuppa and a good chat.
I still love going to workshops myself and being a beginner again. And I’m just as happy sitting in a café, watching the world go by. I think we could all do with a little more time to slow down and enjoy moments like these.
