Coffee, Cake, 'n' Craft - Heart Felt Hearts in New Romney, Kent

Description

Step into a world of contrast and craftsmanship with Ice and Fire, an elegant creative experience inspired by two rich cultural traditions. This beautifully paced workshop invites you to explore the harmony between calm Nordic design and the expressive vibrancy of Mexican folk art, resulting in two handcrafted hearts that are entirely your own. You will begin with a Danish-inspired woven heart, rooted in tradition and timeless simplicity. Delicate yet purposeful, this classic design can be filled with handwritten notes, small keepsakes or sweet treats, or displayed as a striking decorative piece. Its quiet charm offers a moment of mindful making, where precision and pattern come together effortlessly. In contrast, your second piece draws inspiration from Mexico’s bold celebration of colour and texture. This heart is expressive, joyful and full of warmth, allowing you to play with vibrant combinations and layered details. The result is a statement piece that brings personality and a sense of celebration into any space, whether indoors or out. Designed to suit both beginners and experienced makers, the session unfolds in a relaxed, small-group setting where creativity is encouraged and time feels unhurried. Gentle guidance is always available, allowing you to explore techniques, experiment freely and enjoy the pleasure of making without pressure. As part of our much-loved Coffee, Cake, ’n’ Craft series, the atmosphere is welcoming, sociable and quietly indulgent.

What's included in the price?

Your experience includes the use of all carefully selected tools and materials required to create both hearts, with a wide and inspiring range of colours and finishes to choose from.

The session also includes all refreshments, offering time to pause, enjoy conversation and savour a generous slice of cake alongside freshly made drinks. With limited group sizes, the setting remains calm and personal, ensuring you can work at a comfortable pace and fully immerse yourself in the experience. You will leave with two beautifully finished hearts, each reflecting a different mood and tradition, ready to be gifted, displayed or treasured as a reminder of a creative afternoon well spent.
