Hands on Traditional Crafts & Pottery is the exciting
and fascinating place to explore traditional crafts.
Whether you are interested in pottery, wool crafts,
crafts using metal, wood or leather - or even want to
learn more about crafts from sculpture to dry stone
walling - we have something for you or the whole
family to enjoy together. We offer short and weekend
workshops, adult or children’s traditional craft parties,
located at the renowned and Award-Winning Beadlam
Grange Farm, or even in the comfort of your own
home, club, association or school.
Our difference is our philosophy - all of our workshops
and parties, adult or child, explore the real craft, not
just in a classroom, but hands-on!
You can have a go on a potters wheel , make a pot & paint it. You can join a craft class in pottery, felt making, paper making or wool spinning for beginners or advanced there is a craft/ pottery course for everyone!
