Enjoying a fun workshop or learning experience is such a rewarding activity. Whether you attend on your own or alongside your friends or family, a workshop offers you the chance to step away from screens and everyday routines to try something new, creative, and inspiring.
Whether it’s pottery, floristry, painting, or food experiences, workshops allow you to learn from skilled craftspeople, meet like-minded people, and leave with something truly unique — often made by your own hands.
In the Cotswolds and surrounding shires, we have a deep-rooted heritage of arts and crafts, and workshops have a special place. Independent makers and artisans open their doors to share their expertise, giving participants the chance to experience the magic of making in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
Among the standout providers is Honeybourne Pottery, a much-loved creative hub that continues to inspire locals and visitors alike with its carefully curated programme of workshops. Known for their warm hospitality and professional guidance, the team at Honeybourne Pottery makes sure every workshop is both accessible for beginners and rewarding for those with more experience.
Two workshops currently on offer highlight the variety and creativity that Honeybourne Pottery is celebrated for:
