Crafty Hen sessions are such good fun. Everyone is there for the same reason, to have a great time celebrating a special day and the happy atmosphere is infectious! I just love listening to the hens admiring each other’s work. They are always so surprised that they created such wonderful things!

Workshops generate such a joyful energy, and I love being able to facilitate that. I find teaching incredibly rewarding, and love the variety of great people I get to meet and work with.

Having been a teacher for a number of years Crafty Hen has allowed me to bring my passion for creativity and for teaching together as one. I enjoy connecting with new people through craft making, developing peoples skills, and seeing enjoyment blossom.

I love The Crafty Hen workshops because everyone, even those that say they aren’t creative, realise that they can make something they are truly proud of. It’s such a rewarding job.

Seeing how craft brings a group together and warms the room is a lovely thing. Skill sharing is also a joy to do for work. I especially like it when someone is inspired to go further with a medium they’ve just tried.

I love teaching others new skills and pushing them out of their comfort zone.

When I run a workshop, I encourage everyone to let their creative juices flow. Sometimes its been a few years since the participants have done anything creative and I enjoy watching them make their ideas a reality and coming away with items unique to them.

I love leading The Crafty Hen classes. The best part is when everyone is looking at the projects and they are thinking they wont manage to make them, but by the end of the session everyone has made something fantastic and they are so proud of themselves.

I love working with our groups and the other hens, helping them to learn a new skill and create something they didn’t think they could is so wonderful to watch.

Since working for The Crafty Hen I have found sharing my craft skills with others to be very rewarding. It is always so nice to see people who may have not considered themselves to be "crafty" surprising themselves and leaving a workshop having made something they are proud of

The Crafty Hen is something I first got involved with after graduating from University in 2015. It was wonderful to see everyone having such a good time within the workshops and to have the opportunity to meet some incredibly talented artists.
My Favourite Session
If you find arts and crafts daunting don’t be, everyone is creative, just in their own way. There’s no right or wrong way to be creative, the important thing is to have fun and enjoy yourself, and when you do it always shows through.

My favourite crafty hen session has to be the flower crowns, as it's lovely to see people delving into a mass of brightly coloured flowers and each coming out with a completely different and unique headdress!

Its such fun to meet such a wide range of lovely ladies and gently guide them through the crafty process whilst they celebrate that special someone.

There’s nothing much more satisfying than helping a group of people achieve success with their crafty project – I absolutely love meeting new people and hopefully enthusing them with my love of making!
