Half-day, full-day & festive makes
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.
