WORKSHOPS
Alongside the market, a programme of live workshops invites you to take part, learn from the makers themselves, and spend time making something of your own.
SATURDAY 27 JUNE 2026 | 10am - 12.30pm
Explore the art of block printing through a hands on workshop grounded in heritage and lived connection to the craft.
Led by Isabela Streeter, founder of Haveli Diaries, you will explore the full journey of creating a textile design. From her Indian heritage and childhood years spent growing up in India, Isabela brings a deeply rooted connection to the craft and will lead an authentic introduction to the centuries-old technique of block printing and the rich cultural heritage that surrounds it.
The workshop will focus on developing ideas, translating these into simple motifs, understanding repeat pattern and layout, and learning the fundamentals of traditional block printing. Participants experiment with colour, layering and composition before printing your own set of four napkins to take home.
Alongside the practical making, the workshop will introduce the heritage of textile craft, the importance of slow, sustainable processes, and how design decisions shape the final outcome.
WEDNESDAY 24 JUNE 2026 | 10am - 4pm
Learn the fundamentals of leatherwork as you make your own leather wallet.
Guided by Charlie Laurie of Charles Laurie London, you will work through each stage of the process, from cutting and shaping to stitching and finishing.
Based in Rutland, Charlie's work is defined by clarity of design and a careful, exacting finish. The result is a simple, timeless piece, made by hand and designed to be used every day.
Lunch is served by The Blonde Beet, with a generous selection of seasonal salads, dressed homemade hummus and one of their savoury pastries, celebrating the best vegetables, herbs and flavours of the season.
SUNDAY 28 JUNE 2026 | 1pm - 3.30pm
Spend time working with clay as you make your own ceramic plant pot and saucer.
Guided by Jess, you will learn the basics of hand-building, using a simple coil building technique to create a plant pot and saucer using white stoneware clay. A variety of tools will be provided, along with a demonstration of decoration techniques, like carving, and sculpting botanically inspired forms such as flowers and ruffles, to give you the skills and inspiration to create your own design.
After the class, your creations will be bisque fired in the kiln at Jess’s Leicestershire studio, then dipped in a soft white glaze before being fired for a second time. Your pots will be ready to collect within 4-5 weeks of the workshop date.
