Maker's bio

Creative Nature HQ is a London based creative space that offers a range of craft courses that help to develop new skills and a knowledge of a wide variety of natural materials and processes. These activities can help deepen a sense of well-being through connection to natural materials and simple repetitive actions. My name is Stephen Stockbridge, I run Creative Nature HQ, I'm a trained sculptor and worked as an engineer. I have over 30 years of experience professionally making and teaching.

Susan and Donald reviewed: Sculptural willow weaving - Animals

"Had a great experience, Steve is an excellent instructor, helpful with methods and inspiration, but not forcing ideas on students. We all made something quite good and on everyone's first try! Learning the techniques will be helpful in making all kinds of things ongoing. "

Monica reviewed: Half day introduction to spoon carving (beginners)

"A wonderful afternoon with 4 other 'students' and Stephen who had patience and humour in his teaching us. Calm, peaceful, non-competitive, joyful, relaxed but also focused, the time sped by and could have stayed for hours. One of the best afternoons of my summer. "

Creative Nature HQ responded:

"Thank you Monica for your lovely words! "

Penny reviewed: Half day introduction to spoon carving (beginners)

"Really enjoyed our spoon carving. Lots of freedom to design a spoon ourselves and choose the piece of wood to use, and learnt how to use a variety of tools. Our spoons weren't finished by the end of the session, but we've brought them home to finish ourselves, and have been told what we need to do. We were lucky that the other people didn't show up to our class, so it was just the two of us, so we got a lot of individual help. "

Creative Nature HQ responded:

"Thank you Penny a lovely gentle session, I do hope you managed to finish your Spoon's! All the best Stephen "
