Re-Utilise Craft Workshops – find one that’s ideal for you
With an ever-increasing range for adults, children and young people – both for individuals and groups – there’s plenty to choose from.
Each workshop gives you the chance to learn about different art and craft materials, and how best to use them. Click on the links below for more information.
Regular workshops: some workshops for adults and children take place every week throughout the year (or during term-time for children).
Occasional and Seasonal workshops: others are occasional workshops or ‘one-offs’, including seasonal workshops especially for Christmas or Easter.
Tailor-made workshops: we can create a specially-designed, bespoke workshop for you and a group of friends, family or work colleagues.
All workshops take place at our Community Hub located at Tennyson Road, Lowestoft, Suffolk NR32 1PT.

Bespoke workshops – for families, organisations and groups
We can put on private, bespoke workshops for families and friends of all ages – and for children and adult groups and organisations.
The minimum size for a bespoke workshop is 8 people.
For children and young people it could be school or youth group, such as Scouts or Guides, or a group of friends celebrating a birthday.
For adults, we can arrange bespoke workshops for families and friends – such as for a party or hen do – and for clubs, as well as for health- and community-focussed organisations (such as the NHS).
Please contact us with your ideas, and we’ll do our best to find a way to put your ideas in place.

You bring the people,
