We offer a 90-minute Creative Wellbeing Workshop or Mini Creative Enterprise Workshop to new schools or youth organisations engaging with us for the first time.
All we ask for is a meeting with the key decision-maker on the day of the taster workshop.
These are funded through the generous support of Morley Glass.
Thanks to our valued partnership, this is a fantastic opportunity to introduce your students to our creative programs at no cost.

Please note: Only one taster workshop per school or youth organisation.​​
Our Mini Creative Enterprise Workshops are a fun way to teach young people important business skills while being creative. They’ll learn how to make and sell handmade products, giving them a chance to raise money for their school, youth organisation or a chosen charity through sales. It’s a great way to build skills and raise funds!
​​​​​
Young people will decorate small wooden products like keychains and coasters, gaining hands-on experience in business by creating items they can sell. This unique approach not only fosters creativity but also enhances well-being, showing young people how to turn their artistic expressions into profitable ventures. Accessible to all, these workshops feature mixed-ability groups, ensuring inclusivity.
​​​
What to Expect:
-
Each 90-minute workshop is led by our experienced Creative Coaches.
-
We begin by introducing our social enterprise, sharing our values, and discussing the importance of sustainability through the circular economy.
-
Participants will learn about the potential for profit by enhancing and decorating their products, setting the stage for a future sales event organised by their school or youth organisation.
-
Followed by a demonstration of the craft project with tips for decorating.
-
Participants will receive a batch of small wooden products made from reclaimed wood, laser-cut by us. They will spend around one hour decorating their products in a relaxed, supportive environment, accompanied by soothing music to create a calming atmosphere that promotes mental well-being.
-
We wrap up each session with photos of the final products and some feedback from the participants. ​
​
By the end of the workshop, students will not only experience the benefits of creativity on their well-being but also understand the fundamentals of making a profit and developing enterprise skills with products crafted from reclaimed materials.
​
The next step is for the school or youth organisation to host an event, giving young people the opportunity to raise funds by selling their finished products. It’s a perfect combination of skill-building and fundraising!
​​​​​​​​
