Create your own woodland inspired hanging decoration by burning your design onto a beautifully shaped 3D wooden mushroom.

In this cosy pyrography workshop, you will learn how to safely use wood burning tools to add pattern, texture, and detail to your mushroom, working with its natural shape to bring your design to life. From delicate line work to deeper shading, you can keep things simple or go more intricate with spots, foliage, or magical woodland motifs.

You will be guided through the basics, but there is plenty of space to work at your own pace and follow your own ideas. Each mushroom becomes completely unique, shaped by your design and the natural grain of the wood.

Once finished, your piece will be completed with twine, ready to hang at home, gift, or add to a seasonal display.

This is a calm, focused session with a gentle rhythm, perfect for slowing down and getting absorbed in the process.

Step into a darkened, atmospheric space and experience painting in a completely different way. This UV sensory painting workshop uses blacklights, glowing paints, and immersive music to create a deeply engaging, other-worldly creative session.

As the lights dim and the UV lamps come on, neon and phosphorescent paints come alive—reacting instantly under the blacklight. Colours pulse, blend, and glow as you move your brush, turning each mark into something vivid and almost magical.

This workshop is about process over perfection. You’re encouraged to paint intuitively, respond to the music, and let go of expectations. Whether you create flowing abstract shapes, cosmic patterns, symbols, or expressive marks, the focus is on sensory experience, freedom, and play.

The carefully chosen atmospheric soundtrack helps guide the pace and mood—supporting relaxation, emotional release, and creative flow.

What to expect:

UV blacklights and a softly darkened space

Glow-in-the-dark and UV-reactive paints

Canvas or painting surface provided

Ambient, immersive music throughout

Gentle guidance with plenty of freedom to explore

A calm, non-judgemental environment

This workshop is perfect for:

Anyone feeling creatively blocked or overstimulated

Those who enjoy sensory experiences and mindful creativity

Beginners and experienced creatives alike

People looking for something playful, expressive, and a little magical

You’ll leave with a glowing artwork that looks completely different under normal light—along with a sense of release, grounding, and creative renewal.

✨ Paint in the dark. Let the light do the rest.

Join us for a relaxed, social crafting session twice a month at The Emporium. Bring along your latest project — whether it’s painting, knitting, lino printing, embroidery, journaling, or anything else you love to make — and enjoy a few creative hours surrounded by friendly, like-minded people.

This isn’t a taught workshop, and Natalie won’t be instructing during this session (not a one-to-one session) — it’s simply a welcoming space to create, chat, share ideas, and unwind over a brew.

A small selection of craft supplies will be available to purchase on the day, including lino blocks, punch needle hoops and yarn, and paint packs, so you can top up your materials if needed.

Please bring your own materials and leave the space as you found it — clean, tidy, and ready for the next maker.

Come as you are, bring your creativity, and enjoy some mindful making time in good company.

This gentle, intuitive workshop blends tarot with creative art-making, inviting you to explore symbolism, self-reflection, and personal insight through colour, mark-making, and imagery.

You’ll begin by drawing a tarot card (or choosing one intuitively) to act as your guide for the session. Rather than focusing on prediction, the tarot is used as a tool for reflection and storytelling—exploring themes, emotions, archetypes, and personal meaning.

From there, you’ll translate the energy of your card into art.

Discover the joy of working with glass in this relaxed and creative fused glass workshop. Guided step-by-step, you’ll design and create your own unique glass coaster using a range of coloured glass, frits, and decorative elements.

During the session, you’ll be introduced to the basics of glass fusing and learn how a microwave kiln works — a compact kiln that allows glass to be fused safely and efficiently in a standard microwave. This method is perfect for small-scale pieces and offers a fascinating insight into the fusing process without the need for large industrial equipment.

You’ll experiment with colour, texture, and composition to design a coaster that reflects your personal style — whether bold and vibrant or soft and subtle. Your finished piece will be fused during the workshop using the microwave kiln and then allowed to cool before final finishing.

What you’ll learn:

• An introduction to fused glass and microwave kiln firing
• How to safely handle and layer glass
• Design techniques using frits, stringers, and sheet glass
• How glass changes during the fusing process

What’s included:

One finished fused glass coaster

All materials and tools

Use of the microwave kiln

Guidance throughout the session

Add colour to your garden this summer.

Design and assemble your own fused glass flower which will be kiln fired and mounted onto a garden stake.

Learn basic glass layering techniques and create something that will catch the light beautifully amongst your plants.

Please note pieces will need time to cool and will be ready for collection after firing.

Create your own textured coastal artwork in this relaxing Resin Beach Canvas workshop.

In this session, you’ll explore a range of resin techniques to build up a beautiful beach scene on canvas. Using real sand, shells and layered resin pours, you’ll create depth, movement and that signature shoreline effect with soft waves washing onto the shore.

You’ll be guided through:

• Preparing and designing your canvas

• Working with resin safely and confidently

• Creating wave effects and ocean movement

• Incorporating sand, shells and natural textures

• Layering techniques to build depth and detail

This workshop is suitable for beginners as well as those who have worked with resin before. There’s plenty of room to make it your own, whether you prefer soft, minimal coastlines or something a little more detailed and textured.

Your finished piece will need time to cure, so it will be ready to collect at a later date.

A calm, creative session with something really special to take home 🌊

Once a month, The Emporium transforms into a cosy coven for Witchy Wednesday — a space to reconnect with the natural rhythms of the seasons, share in gentle rituals, and explore the magic of everyday life.

Whether you’re a seasoned witch or simply curious about ritual and connection, you’ll find a welcoming circle here. Expect laughter, learning, a sprinkle of incense, and plenty of heart.
