The Make Lounge
Parties and bespoke events
Let us plan your bespoke business event, hen do, party, team building activity or other group gathering!
Partnerships and bespoke events:
- The Make Lounge team can create workshops, festival activities, experiential marketing events, or crafting demonstrations in partnership with your business or organisation. Crafting is fun for all ages and genders, extremely social and reflects positively on your brand!
- Some of our current and past clients include The National Theatre/Alternative Village Fete, Swarovski, Twestival, The London Transport Museum, Oasis Stores and The V&A Museum.
Adult craft parties:
- Crafting is a wonderful social activity and every guest leaves with a stylish, hand-made item. See photographs of The Make Lounge here .
- Prices start from £35 per person (see crafting suggestions, right). Fees include all materials, expert instruction, plus coffee and tea.
- Group sizes are booked as 8-14 people or 15-25 people. Larger groups are in two adjoining studios.
- A 25% non-refundable deposit based on the minimum number in the group size is required to reserve the space and to secure the instructor. The balance is payable on or before the day of the event.
- Saturday hen parties start at 2:30 pm and last up to four hours, depending upon the project you make. Other start times depend upon availability.
- You may bring your own wine/champagne and party nibbles. We have glasses, platters, bowls and a cake stand available for you to use with our compliments. (Please bring any consumables such as paper napkins.)
- We can provide cakes, cupcakes or other delicious baked treats. Details available upon request.
- We have iPod docking stations, so bring your favourite playlist!
Crafting options
Many of our existing workshops can be tailored for your group (depending upon teacher availability); please browse the categories, to the right, for ideas. Or we can help you come up with your own project! We provide expert instruction, specialised tools and equipment, high quality materials and all the help you need.
Fascinator hats (4 hours, £55 pp)
Design and create a festive fascinator headpiece (perfect for wearing to the wedding or to a cocktail party) using fabric, feathers, veilings and other trimmings.
Tiaras (4 hours, £55 pp)
Add delicate sparkle and glamour to any outfit! You’ll learn wire work techniques to fashion a silver or gold-plated wire band, then select and affix beautiful Swarovski crystals, beads, feathers and other ornamentation.
Jewellery (3 hours, £45 pp)
Fashion your own glitzy earrings and bracelets using Swarovski pearls and crystals, beads and semi-precious stones. Most people create several pairs of earrings and a bracelet, depending on the complexity of the design.
Cupcake Decorating (2.5 hours, £47 pp)
Learn to pipe buttercream icing like a pro, use subtle and vibrant paste colours, roll and cut marzipan to create decorative shapes, and adorn your cakes with glitter, sprinkles and more! At the end of the workshop, you’ll take home a box of your own delicious creation, plus recipes for cupcakes and buttercream icing.
‘Fancy pants’ knicker customising (2.5 hours, £35 pp)
Each person brings a pair of knickers (either for the hen or to keep for herself) and we’ll teach you how to transform them into glamorously gorgeous pants! You’ll use Swarovski crystals, ribbons, fabric, applique motifs (geared toward the hen’s personal interests and hobbies, if desired) and more. Includes a lovely organza bag for each guest to take their treasures away in.
