Cottage Bookends

Step into a world of cosy creativity with our Cottage Bookends Workshop — a beautifully hands-on session where rustic charm meets imagination. In this workshop, you’ll design and create your own wooden cottage-style bookends, using natural textures, paint, patterns, and decorative details to craft a functional piece that’s full of character and warmth.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned crafter, this workshop is the perfect opportunity to slow down, get creative, and enjoy a relaxed, mindful afternoon surrounded by like-minded people.

🪵 What’s Included:

✨ Wooden Bookends Bases & Materials
You’ll start with solid wooden bookend bases to make the platform for 2 bookends, have access to a wide selection of materials including paints, stains, papers, textures, and rustic embellishments — allowing you to create a truly unique cottage-inspired design.

✨ All Tools & Guidance
Everything you need to bring your bookends to life will be provided, along with gentle, step-by-step guidance to help you layer, decorate, and personalise your pieces.

✨ Creative Add-Ons
There will be plenty of extra embellishments available — think wood details, textures, stencils, twine, florals, and cottage-style accents. If you have any small items you’d love to incorporate (a charm, ribbon, or special keepsake), feel free to bring them along.
Please note: we can’t take responsibility for personal belongings, so please keep extras to a minimum.

✨ Refreshments
Enjoy a choice of tea, instant coffee, squash, or water while you create. You can also upgrade your drink on the day to a Cappuccino, Latte, or Hot Chocolate for just £1.50.

✨ Sweet Treats
Choose from one of our delicious cakes to enjoy during the workshop. Gluten-free and milk-free options are available on site to purchase and you’re welcome to bring something specific if needed.
