Workshops & Classes
“Informal, friendly, relaxed, we love coming to The Makers’ House!”
We believe creativity is more than simply making something beautiful;
For us, it’s the whole experience. It’s the people you share it with. Tt’s getting away from the real world for a while. We want you to leave feeling proud, inspired and motivated to come back for more, & we LOVE that so many people do!!
Our venue is relaxed, spacious, bright and accessible. Our classes are small & our tutors are passionate, skilled & friendly. We have free parking right outside, plenty of drinks and even a shop/post office next door! Whether you’re an experienced crafter trying something new or have never done anything like this before we are the place for you. Come on your own, bring a friend, colleague or even the whole family, anything goes and everyone is welcome.
