Binding New Stories | Finding Your Creative Muse

Craft your own journal from a vintage book. A soulful workshop of meditation, making, and finding your creative voice for 2026.

To begin our 2026 journey, Finding Your Creative Muse, we welcome Calliope, Muse of Eloquence. We will set intentions for this year’s "odyssey," calling upon Calliope’s guidance to create space for our unique voices in the quiet promise of the returning light.

In this session, we will transform pre-loved books into personal journals. By reshaping and reiviving covers, recycling old pages and binding in new spaces, we celebrate the cycle of renewal, reuse and reimagining and create a handmade companion to hold your visions all year long. We invite you to bring a pre-loved hardback book to repurpose, or choose from our collection on the day.

Come join us to share in this gentle morning of connection and the quiet awakening of your inner artist.

The Details

Date & Time: 8th February 2026, we begin at 10 am - please feel free to arrive from 9.45 to settle in with a beverage before we start.

Location: Our workshops are hosted in the beautiful studio at the Little Flower Farm, Cradley. Previously known as the Blue-Ginger Gallery & Café. This is a beautiful, light, and airy space surrounded by the tools of Jemima's floristry. You can't help but be creatively inspired here!

Parking: There is plenty of well-signposted parking available on site.

Accessibility: As this is a working flower farm, the ground is uneven, and there are steps to the main entrance; however, an alternative step-free entrance is available on request. Once inside, the space is one level.

Exchange: Standard tickets £45 (All-inclusive of booking fees, high-quality materials, and seasonal refreshments). Look out for Early Bird tickets or bundles.

What to bring: A pre-loved hardback book to repurpose (optional - we will have plenty to choose from if you don't have one!).

What’s Included

• All binding tools, decorative papers, and threads and more.
• Guided meditation and Muse-inspired journaling prompts.
• Artisan tea, coffee, and locally sourced treats.
• Your completed handmade journal to take home.

About the "Finding Your Creative Muse" Series: This is the first of eight workshops in 2026 and our third year of Women's Rites Workshops. While each session can be enjoyed as a standalone experience, they are designed as a year-long "odyssey" through the seasons. Look out for our "Muse Pass" if you wish to join us for multiple sessions at a discounted rate.
