Workshops

Four ways to

Small groups of five. Sessions of 60 minutes. Each one tailored to whoever walks through the door.

Workshop No. 01
Art, Craft, and Colour
Running

Arts & Crafts

"A gentle, grounding practice. Space to slow down and express what words sometimes can't."

Drawing, painting, printing, stitching, shaping colour and form. A therapeutic space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and express what words sometimes can't. The focus is on process over perfection.

Basic Mechanics

"The quiet satisfaction of figuring out how something actually works."

Tool use, bike maintenance, engines, and the quiet satisfaction of figuring out how something works. A space to slow down, focus, and build confidence through practical skills. We keep the scope small so you finish what you begin.

Workshop No. 03
Circuits, light, sound, movement
Running

Electronics

"Curiosity you can hold in your hands."

Circuits, components, and simple builds. A calming, focused activity that encourages patience and persistence. Bring something to life with light, movement, or sound, and reconnect with what you are capable of.

Curiosity
What we work with
  • LEDs, motors, buzzers, buttons
  • Breadboards and simple soldering
  • Arduino and micro:bit basics
  • Small kits and our own designs
What you take home

A thing that blinks, moves, or makes a sound because of you. A working mental picture of how it fits together.

Timings Full schedule coming soon. Younger makers welcome with a grown up alongside.
Workshop No. 04
Percussion, keys, guitar, and voice

Music

"A safe space to explore feelings, build confidence, and experience calm."

Percussion, keys, guitar, and voice. Music becomes a way to express emotion, release tension, and reconnect with your inner rhythm. Creating music together nurtures connection and belonging. We are still finding the right music therapists and shaping the workshop carefully, so it arrives properly rather than soon.

On the workbench
  • Finding the right music therapists and tutors
  • Quieting the room acoustics
  • Choosing instruments that sound good in small hands too
