About Me
Hello, I am Hannah and I can usually be found outside walking my Labradoodle while foraging for all sorts of botanicals for our casting workshops. I really enjoy seeing how the plants change throughout the seasons, we go from looking for buds, to leaves and flowers and then to seeds and seed pods. I feel very fortunate to live in such a beautiful part of the country with varied landscapes. The coastline is my happy place but I also love woodlands, hills and meadows too.
After 20 years of working in high pressured, fast paced environments I began to question whether my work/life/wellbeing balance was still balancing - it wasn't! Being creative is part of who I am and there is nothing more exciting than being able to make doing what I love into a business that shares that happiness with others. I think that as adults we often struggle with the concept of doing activities just for the joy of doing them and that regaining that ethos can have a real positive impact upon wellbeing.
Our workshops are designed to give you both time and space to discover, explore and practice a new skill. We aim for them to be a sociable occasion in a friendly group that allows you to create without any judgement. You are able to take home something you have created yourself that you can feel proud of.
Blog - APRIL 2025
March has been an incredibly busy month for us. We made our debut appearance at the Creative Craft Shows in both Glasgow and Birmingham. This saw us deliver our Introduction to Botanical Casting Workshop to 100 people over the span of 7 days plus many more trying our mini workshop to create fragrance diffusers at our Make and Take stand. We also launched our new look Make at Home Kits for both Botanical Casting and Oyster Shell Decoupage, these will be available to purchase via the website shortly.
At the end of March we had a full workshop of creative people trying their hand at Botanical Casting in the Green Room at Barton Grange Garden Centre in Preston. We are returning there on the 16th May 2025 and booking links can be found on our workshop page.
Looking forward, we are currently in talks with Grizedale Forest for a programme of family friendly drop-in workshops over the summer. April also sees us venture to Grasmere for a day to deliver a privately booked workshop to the ladies of the WI. Did you know that we accept private bookings, if you're interested please contact us to have a chat.
Towards the end of April, on the 26th, we have an extra special workshop booked in at the Old Sawmill Cafe in Clapham. This is a stunning location and includes a light lunch provided by the cafe. More details are on the workshop page.
Further into the future, keep your eye out for workshops at Rheged and Holden Clough Nurseries as well as something new at Levens Hall and Abott Hall in Kendal.
