The Hive of Creativity -
Craft and Nature Workshops
Escape into the natural world and let your creativity bloom!
Our nature-inspired craft workshops are little pockets of peace — where you can slow down, switch off, and make something beautiful.
Welcome to The Hive of Creativity — where nature, bees, and beautiful things come together.
Sharing our love of bees is always a joy, but there’s something truly special about sitting down to make something with your hands. Alongside Stacy’s own beeswax and floral workshops, we now invite guest tutors throughout the year to share their skills too — from seasonal crafts and nature-inspired makes to simple projects that soothe the soul.
With a background in floral design, photography, and beeswax artistry, Stacy brings a thoughtful, relaxed approach to every workshop. Whether it’s candle making in spring, festive wreaths in winter, or something entirely new, you’ll always leave with something handmade — and a warm glow inside.
Workshops take place in our peaceful Norfolk countryside setting, with tea, cake, and friendly faces guaranteed.
