Soya teacup candle
Make your own beautifully scented candle using eco-friendly soya wax, natural essential oils, and a vintage china teacup set.
You’ll learn about essential oils to create a blend of your choice, then fashion your own container candle. All materials provided (including teacups and saucers) or bring a favourite cup or other container to fill. You’ll also away a resource list so you can make more candles at home!
Note: As the molten wax needs time to solidify, enjoy a drink or a spot of shopping on nearby Upper Street while your candle cools, or come pick up another day. Alternately, we can post it to you for £6 to cover the cost of postage and packing materials.

Metal snap frame purse
Create a very roomy snap frame purse (nearer in size to a clutch, really!), ideal for storing makeup or any of those bits and bobs that always end up at the bottom of your handbag! You’ll learn to affix a metal snap frame like a pro, plus stitch a lined bag using a pattern. All materials provided, including your choice of fabric, coordinating lining, interlining, a nickel or brass purse frame, plus a printed handout to take home. (All supplies available for purchase in our shop, too.)
PLEASE NOTE: This is not a beginner’s workshop. You should already know how to wind a bobbin, thread a machine and sew a straight seam before coming to class. If you haven’t sewn recently, please sign up for one of our Intro to Sewing Machine workshops: Cafe Apron, Cushion Cover or Tote Bags.
