FAQs
It is often best to start with an activity that offers a variety of small items or a larger shape that is relatively straightforward such as a bird workshop
You are welcome to join us for a more detailed workshop but please be aware that you may not make such a detailed version as someone who has more experience
If you are someone who prefers working on small precise works I suggest starting with the workshops where we create several smaller items e.g Xmas crafts, garden items, small birdhouses, baskets, etc. For those of you who like to experiment and see what happens, you might prefer something more sculptural to be fair there is no one way and you never know until you try it will be fun which ever you decide to do.
I usually find that making a small item can be difficult for anyone who has problems with grip,/ fine motor skills / small movements, if your not sure please contact me
We often use our thighs to hold items so if this a problem for you please let me know. also working on large items can be quite tiring as it can be quite physical.
If you are not sure please feel free to contact me and we can chat through the options that might work for you before you book a place
