Punch Needle Embroidery Workshop

Join me at a punch needle workshop where you'll learn a beautiful new craft over coffee, croissants, and a glass of bubbly on arrival. With just six participants per session, this one stays wonderfully intimate – I’ll give everyone plenty of individual guidance, so you'll leave with a real handle on the fundamentals and the confidence to keep creating at home. You'll work on a cherry tomato vine wall hanging, starting with practice materials to get the hang of the punch needle technique before moving on to your main piece. This is a lovely way to meet like-minded people who share a love of making, whether you come solo or bring a friend along – you’ll leave with new skills, fresh inspiration, and a few new creative friends too. Everything's included: yarn, fabric, punch needle tool, embroidery scissors, and a hoop, along with practice materials so you can build confidence before starting your finished piece. See you at the workshop! -Maria

🏺 Friend of Dorothy Pottery Workshop with Lucas Buttchewits

### Make Pots. Meet Gay Men. Make Friends. This **Friend of Dorothy event** is about bringing **gay men together in real life to connect, create and build genuine friendships**. Join ceramic artist **Lucas Buttchewits** for a relaxed, hands-on introduction to pottery designed for all levels. Whether you’ve never touched clay before or already enjoy creative work, this workshop offers a welcoming space to try something new while meeting people through a shared experience. During the session you’ll explore traditional **hand-building techniques** including pinching, coiling and slab building to create your own tableware or decorative pieces. You’ll also experiment with decorating your work using **leaves and flowers to imprint natural textures**, before adding colour and personality using painted slip. Lucas will guide you through every stage of the process from shaping and decorating your piece to understanding how it will be **glazed and kiln-fired** after the workshop. But like all **Friend of Dorothy events**, this isn’t just about the activity. It’s about creating spaces where **gay men can meet, talk and form real connections outside of apps and bars**. With a small group and a relaxed creative atmosphere, it’s easy to chat, laugh and get to know the people around you. All materials, tools and firings are included, and your favourite piece will be **ready for collection a few weeks later**. Come get creative. Meet new people. Leave with something beautifully handmade and a little more connected ### Your Host  Lucas Buttchewits is a London-based ceramicist and creative facilitator known for his relaxed, accessible approach to pottery. His workshops focus on making creativity feel easy and social, creating a space where people can switch off, try something new, and connect with others while working with their hands. Blending craft with community, Lucas’ sessions are as much about the experience as the outcome, encouraging people to experiment, have fun, and leave with something they’ve made themselves.

Drink & Do: Social Crafts Night | London 20s and 30s

**We don’t do boring Wednesdays - so on 29 July, we’ll be bringing some creative sparkle to your week, with our latest Drink & Do Night 🎨** Yep, we’ll once again be getting our creative juices flowing and heading to Knightsbridge for an evening of crafts and social drinks, exclusively for 20s and 30s. And with International Friendship Day on 30th July, our theme is **“Friendship & Connection”** \- a celebration of the people who matter most\, brought to life through art 👭 We’ll provide all the paints, brushes, and materials you need to create your own masterpiece - something inspired by what friendship means to you, or your connection to someone special. But that’s not all - you’ll also get to sculpt with air-dry clay, a super fun, fast-drying material that’s perfect for crafting friendship-themed ornaments, keepsakes or small handmade gifts 🎁 If you've not used it before, air-dry clay is great for trying out sculpting bowls, figurines, or ornaments and unlike normal clay - it doesn't require firing in a kiln and so you can take it home with you. And once the crafting is done and your creations are complete, we’ll clear the tables so you can unwind, grab another drink, and get to know your fellow artists. Best of all, whilst painting and crafts can cost over £40, **this whole evening of social painting is just £4.95 ❤️** So, if you're up for a creative midweek evening, join us this for this latest evening of art, fun and great company. **\- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \-** **WHERE/WHEN** The Venue: Tattersalls Tavern, 1 Knightsbridge Grn, London SW1X 7QN ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/2rxcVxAuw8vHAqwE7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/2rxcVxAuw8vHAqwE7)) Closest stations: Knightsbridge (5 mins walk), Hyde Park Corner (10 min walk) Start Time: 19:15 Pub Finish time: 21:30 **\- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \-** **JOIN THE COMMUNITY** Set up in November 2021, the project was set up to help 20s and 30s meet, connect and hopefully build life-long friendships.

Make your Sunday extra special by joining this relaxing punch needle workshop, where you'll create a beautiful floral cushion cover. Together, we'll stitch delicate blooming flowers that create a wonderfully soft and textured finish. The finished design adds a cheerful pop of colour to a neutral interior or pairs beautifully with bolder home décor.

To make sure everyone receives plenty of individual guidance, this workshop is limited to just six participants. By the end of the session, you'll have completed the embroidered front of your cushion cover, with the remaining fabric cut to size so you can easily sew it together at home. I'll provide clear step-by-step finishing instructions, and if you need any extra help afterwards, you'll also have one-to-one support from me via WhatsApp Business. This class is a lovely way to meet like-minded people who share a love of making, whether you come solo or bring a friend along – you'll leave with new skills, fresh inspiration, and a few new creative friends too. Everything's included: yarn, fabric, punch needle tool, embroidery scissors, and a snap frame, along with practice materials so you can build confidence before starting your finished piece.
