Creative Activities
Enjoy 4 fabulous artist-led activities :
Cord Bracelets
Create a cord bracelet, measured to fit and with a clasp. Learn cord-tying techniques, using a loom and your favourite cord colour. Please bring a wrist measurement (allowing for 2 fingers underneath) if you plan to gift the bracelet.
Leaf rubbing and found word
mini-books
Create a nature-inspired mini concertina book, with leaf rubbings and found words. Choose your favourite leaves and colours from our selection and you'll be guided to create a card-backed book, using chosen words from Mary Oliver’s poem ‘When I am Among the Trees’.
Paper in Bloom
You’ll be guided through paper folding techniques to create a beautiful spring flower. Papercraft is a wonderful way to preserve and display poems and book pages, maps, musical scores or dressmaking patterns, so we’ll provide a selection to choose from on the evening.
Clay tiles
Make a unique keepsake tile, using quality air-dry clay, letter stamps and texturing materials. You’ll be guided to roll the clay and personalise with words, names or special dates, adding some dark colour for atmosphere if you wish, before leaving to dry.
Experience a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere in our spacious cafe and studios at Stockport Hat Works. Enjoy the freedom to express yourself and feel the benefits of creativity, connect with fellow art enthusiasts, and take home something to be proud of.
Our workshops are inclusive and supportive, providing space to grow and learn together. Whether you're an experienced artist or taking your first steps, we welcome all abilities.
