Here are some common questions to help you feel comfortable and prepared before your workshop. If there’s anything else you’d like to know, just get in touch.
The Hyde Away has a path to it and a includes a small step at the entrance.
Access to the toilet requires stepping into the house, which has 2 steps.
Because the space is part of a home setting, accessibility can be limited and may not suit all needs.
Outdoor elements may also be part of the session when weather allows. Shade will be available.
If you have specific requirements, please get in touch before booking.I’m very happy to talk things through and see what adjustments may be possible. I'm used to working with neurodiverse people and those with long term health conditions and can often make adaptations.
Workshops take place at The Hyde Away, a garden studio in Essex.
We are located on a quiet service road with a small number of houses and local businesses. There is ample parking available along the service road.
Workshops may take place outdoors in the garden when the weather allows, with shade provided. In poorer weather, sessions will take place inside the studio.
We have two dogs who share the garden space. They can be very vocal when greeting new people.
They are friendly and will settle once you arrive, but they are part of the environment and not kept completely separate from the garden.
Our sessions are designed to be welcoming and supportive, and you will be guided through all of the techniques used in your workshop.
If a session requires any prior experience, this will always be clearly stated in the workshop description.
All materials, tools, and refreshments are provided.
A take-home kit option is also available to purchase at every workshop if you’d like to continue crafting in your own time.
You don’t need to bring anything, everything is provided.
You may want to wear comfortable clothing suitable for crafting and being in a garden setting.
Workshops involve the use of tools and natural materials, including willow, which can be sharp and requires care. For this reason, workshops are designed for adults.
