It’s already November and the festive season is just around the corner, and at Make, were ready for it! If you’re looking for some slightly alternative gifts, or just some merry activities for yourself, we have it at Make! Read on to find out about our classes and events coming up!
Festive Classes
What better way to treat a loved one then to buy them an experience with something they can take home and cherish afterwards. We love sustainable gift giving and giving someone an experience or a shared memory is one of the best ways to be environmentally friendly. We try our best to work with practitioners and independent business who use eco friendly, and often reclaimed and recycled materials.
Woodwork
You may have already heard of our woodwork classes, or you might have even taken part in a class yourself. Well now we’ve added some more, and just in time for gift season!
We still have our much loved beginners classes where you can spend the day creating a wine rack (perfect for all of the festive drinks) or a tool box (doubles up as a great planter). And now our make your own bird box class is back by popular demand, a great gift for anyone who loves being in the garden.
But if you fancy a more intensive weekend of woodwork, we have a new greenwood weekend long class with the outcome being your own beautiful stool!
Wreath Making
What could be more festive than making your own wreath? A perfect gift for a loved one, or even perfect to hang on your door during the winter season. A great way to put your own creative twist on your christmas deccys! If you’re a traditionalist we have traditional wreath making, or if you love to put a modern twist on things we have contemporary wreath making workshops too.
