Welcome to our freestyle workshops!

You can decide on a different activity each month, each for a suggested minimum donation / contribution toward the costs of £3.50 per person.

You can also take it home and dry your creation there provided you bring your own sturdy container to carry it and prevent damage.

Alternatively, you can leave it with us to bake and collect at next workshop or you can take it home with instructions on how to bake it yourself.
