Creative crafting workshops

Disvover your new passion

Our everyday lives are full of routines and commitments, whilst holidays are time dedicated to doing things that time doesn't seem to allow for at home.

So why not try a new hobby or discover your creative streak. We have built our own little crafting box with kits for flower pressing, sketching, star watching and gardening.

There are binoculars and books to encourage you to spot nature so find a little nook and watch or make without any of the distractions of home.

Nature inspired creative workshops

Book a tailored workshop in the cottage for you and your guests.

Our workshops include silk printing, block printing, flower pressing, and many more. A great way to learn a new skill, lose yourself in the moment and really switch off.

Plus you get a momento of your stay to take home.

Our workshop guide will come to Elsie's cottage and guide you through a workshop, collect nature items from the woods and garden and settle down to make.

Workshops last about 2-3 hours. All equipment is provided.

Just contact us for a bespoke package.

Prices from £25 pp.
