Creative Workshops
Creative Futures Midlands is based in Leicestershire, but we can travel to your fete, event, school or youth club and bring all our own tools and materials. The workshops cater to all ages and abilities, and we are DBS checked and have child and vulnerable adult safeguarding in place, as well as full public liability insurance.
The prices are £250 for a half-day workshop or £350 for a full day.
Pyrography
This is a great project for smaller groups of ten or less participants, where a hot-tipped pyrography pen is used to burn designs into wood.
Good results can be achieved in a short time but this is also a great activity for participants to sit and enjoy for a longer time. We will bring enough pyrography pens for up to ten participants, tables and wood and decorative items.
Due to the nature of the activity, it is suitable for older children and adults only. Children will need adult supervision, and this activity is more suited to smaller groups.
Crochet
I teach crochet to all ages and for all skills levels, but am particularly interested in getting men involved in this therapeutic craft activity. I supply all the wool and hooks needed for this activity, and participants will be given a hook and some wool to take away with them at the end of the session.
I can hold this workshop with groups of up to 5 participants for complete beginners, or larger numbers for participants who have had some crochet experience and who would like to master more advanced techniques.
Wood Carving
Learn the exciting skill of woodcarving. Participants can carve their names, or any other design to make a lasting keepsake and reminder of their day.
We will bring all the tools required for this workshop, and wooden plaques which the participants can carve and then take home with them.
Forest School / Campfire Cookery
Get back to nature with this exciting outdoor workshop.
Make a camp, light a fire, learn about nature and get hands-on in the great outdoors.
Gardening
Our gardening group is currently made up of the lovely ladies and a few chaps too from our local Guajarati community in Leicester.
We have just expanded our plot, and we look forward to welcoming new members. Get in touch, we’d love to hear from you!
Spoon Carving
Up to 6 participants at a time will be able to make a beautiful spoon out of silver birch, cherry wood or similar. We will bring spoon blanks and all the carving tools needed to complete this activity.
A great all day or half day activity, suitable for adults or older children. Children will need adult supervision.
Working Together
We can provide your group with a 4 or 6 week program
