  £45 (£150 per class surcharge applies for private classes)

Make, decorate and light your own diyas while exploring one of Diwali’s most recognisable traditions.
Come together around the table for a creative introduction to diyas, the small lamps traditionally lit during Diwali, the Festival of Lights.
In this hands-on session, you'll create and decorate your own diyas to take home, working with colour, pattern and your own ideas rather than trying to make an identical finished piece.
It's relaxed, sociable and designed to leave plenty of room for conversation while your hands are busy.
No previous experience needed, the idea is to learn the technique, then make it your own.
What we'll make
You'll be given everything you need to create and decorate your own set of diyas, with guidance to get you started and plenty of inspiration to help you decide where to take them.
We'll explore colour, pattern and decorative details, with time to experiment and create something that feels personal to you.
Your finished diyas are yours to take home, ready to light and enjoy as part of your own celebrations or to give to someone else.
More than something to make
One of the things we love about seasonal making is that the finished object is only part of the experience.
Making together gives us a reason to slow down, sit around a table and talk — whether you're joining us on your own, coming with friends or celebrating together as a group.
That's very much how our public Correll Club sessions work: friendly, welcoming and generally a little less formal than the traditional follow-the-teacher workshop.
Come for the making. Stay for the company. Leave with something you made yourself.
Because doing things the same way every time is boring, here's how we keep it different...
Public workshops at Correll Club
Our public workshops tend to be a little more relaxed than the traditional “everyone sit down and copy what I'm doing” format.
We like making, but we also like what happens around the making: conversations with people you didn't arrive with, swapping ideas, trying something unexpected and having enough time to enjoy yourself.
This workshop appears periodically in our public programme, but if there isn't currently a date that works for you, you might also enjoy:
Handmade Holiday Gifting

Want to bring your own group?
This activity works brilliantly as a private creative experience.
We can adapt the format for birthdays, hen celebrations, family gatherings and other occasions where you'd rather spend time doing something together than simply booking another table somewhere...and wouldn't this be such a cool looking patchwork quilt/guestbook??
We can come to you, work with an appropriate partner venue, or help you find a setting that suits your group.
Planning something for work?
Correll Club creates hands-on experiences for teams, away days, office programmes and corporate events.
This can run as a facilitated group workshop or be adapted into a more flexible creative format for larger groups, depending on the space, timings and purpose of your event.
We can work at your office, alongside your chosen venue or as part of a wider away-day programme.
Looking for a brand activation?
This is where the same activity can become something quite different.
This can be beautifully adapted and developed into a participatory brand experience, shaped around a product, campaign, material, colour story or sustainability message.
For launches, PR events, exhibitions and larger events, Correll Club develops creative activations designed to give guests something to do, talk about and remember rather than simply another thing to look at.
The format can range from a facilitated experience to a drop-in Creation Station designed for higher footfall.

At Correll Club, we create relaxed, welcoming spaces where you can make things with your hands, try something new, and spend time around others doing the same.
Our workshops are designed to feel calm, accessible and genuinely enjoyable — whether you’re crafting natural body care, learning simple repair skills, experimenting with seasonal materials or just taking a bit of time out to create something for yourself.
You don’t need experience, and you don’t need to be “creative”. We’ll guide you through everything, using thoughtfully chosen materials and simple techniques that you can take away and use again at home.
At the heart of it, Correll Club is about more than the thing you make. It’s about slowing down, learning practical skills, and sharing space with people in a way that feels natural and easy.
Come along, try something different, and leave with something you’ve made — and a little more than you expected.
