'Tis the season for cozy nights filled with joy and creativity! As the days get colder and the holiday season approaches, we're excited to start making beautiful decorations to fill our homes.
Join us for a felt ornament workshop where we will be embroidering, stuffing, and sewing ornaments. Our crafty booksellers will teach the basic techniques you need to make classic designs including gingerbread houses, mittens, stockings, stars, and more.
All materials are provided, plus we'll have festive music, drinks, snacks, and late-night browsing access just for workshop attendees with 10% off everything in the shop!
Due to the hands-on nature of the workshop, spaces are limited so book your spot now! This workshop is for ages 13+ only.

Wheelchair Access
We have a ramp at the front of the shop which has a ratio of 1:10 and loading capacity of 300kg, and so should be able to be used by most wheelchair users or those with mobility vehicles. The front doors are fully automated. Our shop interior is designed to allow access throughout for wheelchair users and prams, though please note there is only 700mm wide clearance to access the staff toilet.
Sound
We use a PA system to enhance the audio at our live events. We also have a hearing loop system installed, if you’d like to use our loop system during an event please let us know and we’ll make sure we have it set up and connected to the live audio feed during the event. If you wish to attend an event and require BSL interpretation, please give us a few weeks notice and we’ll do our best to arrange an interpreter.
