Workshops  
   

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!
