"As a family we attended a workshop at LoveKnott Creations for my birthday. I went with my two kids (16 & 11) and husband. We booked a workshop to make the Wall deco items. We were each allowed to do a different item.
We arrived at 10am, having parked on a nearby road as Middleport Pottery carpark was full. The studio is part of the Middleport Pottery complex but based in a row of studios on Harper Street.
Kirsty was warm and welcoming. The workshop space was comfortable and set up with tools and products for each of us. Kirsty provided us with aprons, gloves and a cuppa! She explained everything clearly and was set up for the messy process (encouraging me not to worry about drips on the table!!!! 😆😆)
We didn't have a time limit, so we felt very relaxed and chilled.
We created the foundation of our pieces before they had to dry for an hour. During this time we popped over to the café at Middleport pottery for an oatcake and drink.
We then headed back to the studio, where we painted our dried pieces, with some vibrant colours. The paint dried very quickly, so we were able to take our finished pieces home with us.
Kirsty is a lovely teacher - patient, empathetic and encouraging.
We all had a lovely time. I found it to be simple, fun and therapeutic. I liked how the materials were sustainable and the fabric was recycled.
Best birthday as I now have four brilliant pieces of art to keep!
We do enjoy craft at home, but I would encourage anyone to have a go. It would suit a beginner too.
We had such a lovely time, that we have booked again for later in the year."
LoveKnott Creations responded:
"Thank you so much Claire.
It was lovely having you and your family join me
See you all very soon again "
