As Crafty as a Hen - Your Own Arty Party!

Back in July last year I blogged about 'the more Discerning Hen  planning her own party, opting for sophistication rather than intoxication.'

Well here is another wonderful stress-free and glamorous way to wave goodbye to your singledom.

Taking place in stylish locations across Liverpool city centre, Craft Creative is a bi monthly event, that helps bring craft making into the 21st century, encouraging the more social side of crafting with a contemporary twist.

Craft clubs are one of the latest trends popping up everywhere from New York to Notting Hill, but The Craft Creative isn’t just a jam-making W.I or a Nana’s knitting circle, it’s a social, stylish twist on craft making. Aimed at girls and guys of all ages, you can have a drink, enjoy live music and learn crafts with local experts teaching you new skills every month.

From embroidery, screen-printing, candle making, cupcake decorating and crochet to making your own knitted ipod cover, a cute pair of frilly knickers, graffiti printed t-shirts or creating a unique piece of jewellery...the list is endless.

Craft Creative was co-founded by Becky Christian and Camilla Halstead in February 2011 by combining their love of social events and enthusiasm for all things crafty to create an alternative social experience.

The idea was to move away from the traditional craft workshop vibe, in which the focus is solely on making crafts and combine this with live music and a quirky venue, to create a relaxed, social experience and a platform to learn new skills with a modern twist.

With Camilla’s Event Management background and Becky’s extensive knowledge in Sales and Management the pair had the perfect partnership to start a craft workshop event-planning business.

By keeping an eye on the latest fashion trends the pair make sure each event has a modern contemporary edge, creating unique on-trend items and must-have accessories.

"We have craft, we have cake and we have cocktails served from vintage tea pots – what more could you want? Indulge yourself with a decedant high tea and listen to music provided by our live DJ. Just select an activity, pick a date and don’t forget the bride to be!"

Enjoy a day of crafting, cocktails and cakes followed by a master class in hair and makeup.

Tailor-made packages to bring out everyone’s crafty side, an all day craft workshop where guests make their own fascinators, garters or wedding stationary followed by a 1950′s style tea party and then enjoy a masterclass in applying makeup and a bespoke hair lesson. Prices start at £35 per person.
