With nearly 20 years of experience running craft workshops, we offer hands-on experiences in recycled crafting that are perfect for anyone eager to learn and have fun. Located near Brentwood, our workshops provide a cosy space for participants to explore the art of upcycling. Whether you're new to crafting or seasoned in DIY projects, our workshops cater to all skill levels. At Retro from Scratch, we're proud to have developed our own Arts Award programme for children, designed to ignite their creativity and passion for crafting. We believe in the power of creativity to transform everyday materials into something beautiful. That's why we're passionate about repurposing and giving new life to old items. From turning old books into paper roses to crafting unique gift bows from recycled paper, our workshops offer endless possibilities. In addition to our regular workshops, we've had the pleasure of teaching crafting skills to various individuals, including the talented Stacey Solomon on her Christmas Craft Show. More than just crafting, our workshops foster community and connection. They're about coming together to share ideas, learn, and make a positive impact on the environment. So why wait? Book your spot today and join us for a creative and sustainable adventure at Retro from Scratch. Whether you're local to Essex or passing through, we can't wait to craft with you! And remember, our workshops are suitable for individuals of all ages, so feel free to bring along friends or family members for a fun and memorable experience together.
