For the first time in Kalk Bay, South Africa join us for a gentle and nourishing creative session centred on love, care, and connection on Sunday, 8 February. Ticket price: R 350

Offered as a collaboration between Conscious Crafting and Wardrobe Wonders Kalk Bay Vintage Apparel, Pocket Hug is a slow, mindful making experience where fabric, memory, and intention come together.

This is not an art class. It’s an invitation to pause, reflect, and create something meaningful by hand in a calm, supportive space. Perfect if you’re craving softness, creativity, and a moment just for yourself.

The Unicorn Dreams party through PartyWizz last Saturday was a huge hit. Facilitator Emma led a big, excited group of 16 girls (aged 8–9) through a magical dreamcatcher workshop. The girls created their own “criss-crossing” techniques loved adding flowers and beads. They explored the magic of unicorns and how dreamcatchers can bring us wonderful dreams.

Creative energy was high. Glue guns were a hit (with a little help) and the beads and ribbons were a total win. The mums loved seeing the girls having fun and being imaginative during their party time.

What is 2026 going to look like? Over two sessions I will take you through the 8 aspects of the wellness wheel and you will create a harmonica fold vision board covering every aspect of your life, depicting your dreams and goals for the coming year.
No cacao, no yoga.. Just mindful crafting in our welcoming River Cottage with the fire going, a mountain of magazines and a lot of clarity gained!

A Back to Grá and Conscious Crafting collaboration to start the new year!

This Brush of the Spirit: Shamanic Animal Drumming Journey with Daniel of Back to Grá takes place on Sunday 18 January 2026 at Connect Studio Ferrybank.

The session is a gently held, creative and ceremonial experience, with the shamanic journey at its core. Daniel guides the group on a drumming journey to meet a spirit animal or animal ally, supported by his grounded and steady presence.

Following the journey Suzan will guide you through a quiet creative process using watercolours and oil pastels, helping you ground the experience and carry it forward. We will then gather back in circle for optional sharing and our closing circle.

If you’re curious about inward connection, symbolism, creativity and gentle ritual, whether this is a familiar path or something new, all are welcome.

Glowing Glass marked our final Winterval Waterford workshop facilitated by Emma. Participants transformed empty jars into glowing Christmas candle holders using festive textures and light. Conscious Crafting side by side sparked connection, conversation and a strong sense of community, reminding us that creativity itself can be a light.

We’re grateful for the wonderful collaboration with Winterval Waterford, the generous use of Waterford Cultural Quarter and everyone who joined us to celebrate the season through Conscious Crafting.

It’s a Wrap for the year 2025! We brainstormed a name for the Thursday craft group with our mix of young and old and the wonderful variety of nationalities. We ended up with 'Glue Gun Girls' as our name! Collaborations, questions, support, and plenty of nibbles and drinks made the workshop a fun end of the year.

From stamping and inventive gluework, everyone explored new ideas, including making their own wrapping paper from a large roll of brown paper. Participants loved the year of crafting and the end-of-year celebration, sharing lots of chatty, lively feedback. (We sadly forgot to take a group picture!)

Happy new crafty year for the Glue Gun Girls!

Our Oyster Ornaments workshop at Dungarvan College sponsored by Buíon Phort Láirge, facilitated by Sims, brought together parents and students for a thoughtful and creative session of Conscious Crafting. For many participants, this was their first experience with mindful making, but as oyster shell angels began to take shape, confidence blossomed.

Participants eagerly decorated each unique design from stylish angels to playful creations complete with tiny hats, including a mother and daughter crafting a “fashion angel” together.

By the end of the workshop, hesitation had transformed into joyful creativity, leaving everyone proud of their handmade ornaments and the memories.

The Yule workshop at Waterford Cultural Quarter in Waterford city for Winterval Waterford celebrated the season with mindful crafting, creating midwinter solstice inspired Yule logs that blend natural elements with personal intention.

The group was small and thoughtful, including regular attendees, friends and locals who shared their own coping skills and memories during the darkest days of the year.

Oracle cards added an extra layer of personal reflection to each Yule log, helping participants anchor their creative process in meaning. Everyone immersed themselves in decorating, discovering new ways to use the materials, and leaving with beautiful, personalized center pieces for their homes.

A special thanks to All About Flowers for the gorgeous red berry branches!
