Creative Activities (subject to change):

Printmaking

Learn the art of block printing. This hands-on workshop will take you through the design and polystyrene printmaking process to create your own unique handmade artwork, as a stand-up card or to frame at home.

Highland Cow Keychain

Make an adorable keychain. In this workshop you'll transform a piece of leather into a charming Highland cow keychain. You will explore pattern cutting and finishing techniques, which will leave you with a unique, handmade keepsake.

Mini Pots

Create a one-of-a kind mini masterpiece! You'll start by kneading soft, white air-dry clay until it's pliable. Then, using your hands and simple tools, shape the clay into tiny pots, experiment with decorative patterns and allow to air dry. Your mini pot can be painted at home if you wish and will look great as a tea-light holder or as a home for your own mock mini plant.

Watercolour Bookmarks

Unleash your creativity and make a beautiful watercolour bookmark. Choose your favourite colours as a background and when dry, add intricate pen patterns, words or a simple sketch to personalise your bookmark. Finish off by adding a tassel of your choice for a touch of elegance. This unique piece can be a thoughtful gift for a loved one or a perfect companion for your favourite book.

Experience a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere in our spacious cafe and studios at Stockport Hat Works. Enjoy the freedom to express yourself and feel the benefits of creativity, connect with fellow art enthusiasts, and take home something to be proud of.

Our workshops are inclusive and supportive, providing space to grow and learn together. Whether you're an experienced artist or taking your first steps, we welcome all abilities.
